Just heard this last night at the club for the first time and loved it! This is my favorite version so far though! An excellent expression of real artistic meoldic beauty by musicians who know who to strum their instruments expertly, as the Psalmist demands God's people to do! It breaks my heart though, that such a wonderful person has to feel so much pain and rejection from this life by people who are less than worthy of appreciating real value. But the pain can be worth going through, if it's done right, for the sake of righteousness; otherwise this is just one more crime done against a precious soul from the heart of the evil satanic babylonian world system who is striving to murder us all. It's pharmaceutical witchcraft and crimes done against earth's inhabitants, demands it's own destrucition, from the true heavenly vengence that will be so sweet! (Apocalypse or Revelation 18). One more reason to look above, holding onto the sure steadfast hope of salvation, when paradise will one day be regained and we are established to the place of our eternal rest. After much tribulation, coming soon to a city near you, it will one day descend back down into the new heavens and new earth! All becasue of the work of the real Hebrew God, who became a sin cursed man of sorrows and shame, as HIs charcter and compassion compelled HIM to fight against the system of terror and death. He is the only one with true power to heal and restore what the enemy locusts, have stolen! You can fully trust in the nature and perfect work of the unconditionally loving savior creator, who experienced the same sufferings and worse, on our behalf.Isaiah 53 (NKJV) 53 Who has believed our report?And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,And as a root out of dry ground.He has no form or comeliness;And when we see Him,There is no beauty that we should desire Him.3 He is despised and rejected by men,A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.4 Surely He has borne our griefsAnd carried our sorrows;Yet we esteemed Him stricken,Smitten by God, and afflicted.5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,He was bruised for our iniquities;The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,And by His stripes we are healed.6 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.7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,Yet He opened not His mouth;He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,So He opened not His mouth.8 He was taken from prison and from judgment,And who will declare His generation?For He was cut off from the land of the living;For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.9 And they[a] made His grave with the wicked—But with the rich at His death,Because He had done no violence,Nor was any deceit in His mouth.10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him;He has put Him to grief.When You make His soul an offering for sin,He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.11 He shall see the labor of His soul,[b] and be satisfied.By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,For He shall bear their iniquities.12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,Because He poured out His soul unto death,And He was numbered with the transgressors,And He bore the sin of many,And made intercession for the transgressors. 1 Peter 218 Employees, be submissive to your employers with all respect, not only to the good and gentle ones, but also to the harsh. 19 For this is commendable, if because of conscience sake toward God, one endures grief and suffering wrongfully. 20 For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: 22 “Who committed no sin,Nor was deceit found in His mouth”; 23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
