This song carries a deeply spiritual and biblical message, drawing directly from the imagery of Isaiah 53 in the Old Testament. It tells the story of Jesus as the “man of sorrows” who was rejected, despised, and burdened with humanity’s grief and sin. The verses emphasize His humility and suffering, showing how He bore pain and injustice despite being pure and without fault. The chorus highlights the central theme: through His wounds, sacrifice, and suffering, healing, freedom, and love were given to all people.

Altogether, the track is a meditation on redemption and grace. It portrays that Jesus’ sacrifice was an act of unconditional love, offering healing, peace, and liberation to humanity — transforming suffering into salvation and darkness into everlasting light.

Who believed what we were told?

A mystery the prophets unfold

He rose like a shoot from the dust

No beauty, no splendor, no trust

We turned our faces, passed Him by

A man of sorrow, left to die

[Chorus]

By His stripes — we are healed

By His pain — love revealed

He took the weight,

He bore it all

For every rise, for every fall B

y His stripes — we are free

He gave it all for you and me

Despised, rejected, left alone

He carried grief that was our own

We thought He was struck, condemned

But He was pure, without sin to mend

Wounded for all we’ve done

Bruised so peace could come

[Chorus]

By His stripes — we are healed

By His pain — love revealed

He took the weight,

He bore it all

For every rise, for every fall

By His stripes — we are free

He gave it all for you and me

Like a lamb led to the flame

Silent as they cursed His name B

uried where the wicked lie

Still no deceit, no cry

Crushed for the sins not His own

So we would never be alone

[Chorus]

By His stripes — we are healed

By His pain — love revealed

He took the weight,

He bore it all

For every rise, for every fall

By His stripes — we are free

He gave it all for you and me

By His stripes — forever light Out of darkness, into
