[Chorus]
By His stripes we are healed,
By His blood we are saved;
Jesus suffered in our stead,
That our souls might not be slaves.
[Verse 1]
Who has believed the Lord's own message?
To whom His mighty arm revealed?
The tender Plant was bruised and broken,
Yet by His stripes we all are healed.
Rejected by the sons of men,
Acquainted well with grief and pain,
He bore our sorrows on His shoulders,
And washed us in redemption's rain.
[Chorus]
By His stripes we are healed,
By His blood we are saved;
Jesus suffered in our stead,
That our souls might not be slaves.
[Verse 2]
He came because the Father sent Him,
Not seeking honour for His own;
He walked the path of pain before us,
In meek obedience to the throne.
Though all the powers of earth opposed Him,
Though hate and darkness gathered wild,
He yielded not, He changed no saying,
The spotless Lamb, the Holy Child.
[Chorus]
By His stripes we are healed,
By His blood we are saved;
Jesus suffered in our stead,
That our souls might not be slaves.
[Verse 3]
The crowd beheld His wounded body,
So marred they scarcely knew His face;
Yet in that hour of deepest anguish
Was flowing forth unbounded grace.
The blows, the shame, the cruel scourging,
The mocking word, the piercing cry,
All worked for us eternal favour,
As Christ the Lord was lifted high.
[Chorus]
By His stripes we are healed,
By His blood we are saved;
Jesus suffered in our stead,
That our souls might not be slaves.
[Verse 4]
Beloved, rejoice in such great mercy,
Rejoice in grace so rich and free;
He bore arrest and condemnation
To win salvation full for thee.
O do not treat this grace as nothing,
Nor let thy heart grow cold and hard;
For all who truly taste His goodness
Must walk in faith toward their reward.
[Chorus]
By His stripes we are healed,
By His blood we are saved;
Jesus suffered in our stead,
That our souls might not be slaves.
[Verse 5]
Then praise the Lamb enthroned in glory,
Praise Him who conquered sin and grave;
Praise Him whose truth stood firm in judgement,
Praise Him, the mighty One to save.
Let every tongue proclaim His goodness,
Let every heart His love record;
For grace was given through Christ our Saviour,
All honour to our risen Lord.
[Final Chorus]
By His stripes we are healed,
By His blood we are saved;
Jesus suffered in our stead,
That our souls might not be slaves.
