Hated Without Cause Lyrics

It is written in scripture "they will hate him without a cause"

Many tried to kill this man without knowing that he was God.

Capstone rejected, despised by his own blood.

Bedrock ejected, but came to die in our stead.

He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him.

Nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

He was despised and rejected by men like one from whom men hide their faces.

He was oppressed and afflicted so he did not open his mouth.

Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, Jesus Christ!

Yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by Him, and afflicted.

Yet it was the Lord's Will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer.

And though the Lord makes His life a guilt offering, he will see His offspring and prolong His days.

And the Will of the Lord will prosper in His hand for he bore the sin of many.
