Man of our sorrows,
rejected and despised
unloved, unwanted
loathed and chastised.
Man of our sufferings,
acquainted with affliction
grief, pain, anguish
trials and conviction.
Man of our depression,
mournful and devastated
dejected, forgotten, isolated
set apart and terminated.
Man of our deception,
tempted and enticed
lured, beguiled, charmed
with every evil device.
Man of our diseases,
illnesses and sickness
maladies, disorders, decay
rebellion and brokeness.
Man of our sorrows,
sufferings and deceptions
Man of our salvation . . .
died for our transgressions!
~~~~~~~~~~
Isaiah 53. 3-5
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were
our faces from him; he was despised, and we
esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem
him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healedâ€
