    in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
    and live for what is right.

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
    it was our sorrows[a] that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
    a punishment for his own sins!
But he was pierced for our rebellion,
    crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.

    We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
    the sins of us all.
