You Were the Joy-Scene One

Isaiah the prophet reads and sings from Isaiah 53 to the accompaniment of live violin music. Isaiah reads the verses that are not included in the song. My father-in-law played this part.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Surely He is rejected of men,
A man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.
And we hid as it were our faces from Him.
He was despised, and we left Him alone.

Surely He has carried our pain,
Carried our sickness and sorrow and shame.
Stricken by God and afflicted by Him,
Suffering for sin that we thought was His own.

But He was wounded to pay for our sins,
Bruises upon Him to pay for our sins,
Stripes on His back to pay for our peace,
His blood flowing freely, our pardon is sealed.

All we like sheep have gone astray
We've turned everyone to his own way.
And the Lord has laid, has laid upon Him
The weight of our guilt and the darkness of sin.
