But He was pierced through for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our iniquities;

The chastening  for our well-being  fell upon Him,

And by His scourging we are healed.

 Isaiah 53:5

 

 

AWESOME LOVE

 

Words and music by Mary Rose Jensen

 

 

Awesome Love, the wounds You bore

Were not for Your own sin.

But for my sick and dying soul

So healing could begin.

 

Awesome Love, though Mighty God,

Your flesh was pierced and torn.

But I deserved that punishment.

Instead I was reborn.

 

Awesome Love, You did not try

To turn from all the pain.

But holy Lamb of God, You died

That I could live again.
