Surely
he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet
we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
But
he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon
him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
All
we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and
the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all. ~ Isaiah 53:4-6
The Lord Jesus gave me this song as a four-part harmony
hymn. My husband and I sang all four parts. Isaiah prophesied about Jesus’ life
on this earth, his ministry, his death for our sins on the cross, and his
gospel of salvation. You can read about it here: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2053&version=ESV

Gospel message, who believes?
Jesus Christ died on a tree,
Saving us from all our sin,
So we might be cleansed within.
Had no beauty found in Him,
That we should desire Him.
Man of sorrows, suffering;
Crushed for our iniquities.
Surely He has borne our griefs;
From our sadness, brings relief.
Bore the stripes; forsaken, He,
So forgiven we might be.
We, like sheep, have gone astray,
Each of us turned his own way.
Jesus calls, “Repent today;
My commandments, now obey.”
Jesus said, to come to him,
We must die to all our sin.
Crucified with Him, we live,
Walking in His righteousness.
Suff’ring servants, we will be,
Taking His identity on us,
When confessing Him
As our Savior, Lord and King.
