Afflicted from Afflicted by Proverb Lexis

(Hook)
Who has believed in the thing heard from us
And to whom has it been revealed
He wouldn’t speak to defend His own case
And because of Him we are healed

Afflicted with defeat
Well acquainted with debt
Diseases overflow
Filled with human regrets
Labor through the day
Plagued by depression
I watch others suffer
And my heart is broken
The struggles of life
Seem to go on forever
Wrestle for rewards
And my mind is bitter
God, how could you know me?
Far from human conditions
Every single trial
Of my life’s afflictions

(Chorus)
Afflicted for our failures and punished for our cause
He suffered death to save us, the lowly and the lost
Through His obedience Light has come into the world
Because of Him we received God’s kindness undeserved

(Hook)
Who believed the thing heard from us
And to whom has it been revealed
He wouldn’t speak to defend His case
But because of Him we are healed

Have you never read
In Isaiah fifty-three
How He was brought low
Crushed, and put to grief
Like a sprout out of place
In the deserted ground
Nothing special to behold
No beauty was found
A man who was despised
And rejected by men
He knew suffering and disease
He was without respect
He bore our plagues
And suffered our sickness
Cursed for our evils
Counted with the wicked

(Chorus)
Afflicted for our failures and punished for our cause
He suffered death to save us, the lowly and the lost
Through His obedience Light has come into the world
Because of Him we received God’s kindness undeserved

Tempted in the ways
Not unlike today
An innocent man
Dodging the serpent’s plays
And after all this
YAH still laid Him bare
On the cross He bled out
And was left hanging there

Offered up for our crimes
And Yah’s anger ceased
He suffered punishment
That rendered our peace
In His affliction we’re
Cleansed for salvation
Through His resurrection
We gain redemption
There is no forgiveness
Without shedding of blood
Sin must be put away
Likewise evil undone
It was pleasing to YAH
To sacrifice His son
And through obedience
He multiplied His sons…

(Chorus)
Afflicted for our failures and punished for our cause
He suffered death to save us, the lowly and the lost
Through His obedience Light has come into the world
Because of Him we received God’s kindness undeserved

(Chorus)
Afflicted for our failures and punished for our cause
He suffered death to save us, the lowly and the lost
Through His obedience Light has come into the world
Because of Him we received God’s kindness undeserved
