about

"Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. 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 mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:1-6

This is the sort of thing I want to sing about. The chord structure started off with me just strumming through some simple stuff. As I messed with it I eventually fell into playing that main riff. I love that part so much and its always one of the first things I play when I pick up any guitar now.

lyrics

He came for the sinners
The downtrodden outcast
He reached out to the lepers
Restoring new life
He spent time with beggars
And rich men alike
Loved beyond measure
He gave us new life
This man of sorrow
Rejected was He
Afflicted by anguish
Held in low esteem
But He took our pain
And our suffering
And He was victorious
The day of Calvary
He was pierced and He was crushed
For our iniquities
He bore our transgressions
By His wounds we are free
