Isaiah 53:4-5     New English Translation

4 But he lifted up our illnesses,

he carried our pain;

even though we thought he was being punished,

attacked by God, and afflicted for something he had done.

5 He was wounded because of our rebellious deeds,

crushed because of our sins;

he endured punishment that made us well;

because of his wounds, we have been healed.

Here rests the issue, Jesus paid it all

For Aids, T.B., and Cancer, He suffered all the pain

If today every victim would give self to Him

He’ll bear most of the hurt and uncertainty again

 

He went all the way, you know, He did not linger at all

At the time the way was appointed, He took readily the call

Only once He softy prayed, if possible pass the cup from me

But the Father did not show Him, so He went to the Cross for all

 

Grace so great, all-encompassing, seems to confuse most of mankind

It seems to make sin’s burden lighter, or sees sin, not like sin at all

God’s absolutes are compromised and Grace becomes much cheaper

So now the price paid by Christ is discounted or not paid in full at all
