Lyrics
Stripes of Salvation
Verse 1
Underneath the Roman lash, His flesh was torn, but not His spirit dashed,
Isaiah’s prophecy, “By His wounds, we are healed,” vividly flashed.
Each cruel stripe, each mark of hate, was for our sin, a redemptive fate,
In every blow, love did not abate, but grew stronger, sealed our heavenly state.
Chorus:
Stripes of salvation, marks of pure love,
Fulfilling the words from the Father above.
In every wound, a story of grace,
He bore our pain, took our rightful place.
Verse 2:
The whip’s crack, the skin’s tear, a symphony of our sin laid bare,
Yet with each stripe, He offered a prayer, “Father, forgive them,” His only care.
For in His pain, our healing was won, the victory over death begun,
The Lamb of God, the righteous One, by His stripes, the battle done.
Chorus:
Stripes of salvation, marks of pure love,
Fulfilling the words from the Father above.
In every wound, a story of grace,
He bore our pain, took our rightful place.
Bridge:
Look upon the Savior, beaten, scorned, yet brave,
Carrying the cross of sin, He came to save.
Let your heart be lightened, for His pain was not in vain,
In His wounds, we find our healing, in His suffering, our gain.
Chorus:
Stripes of salvation, marks of pure love,
Fulfilling the words from the Father above.
In every wound, a story of grace,
He bore our pain, took our rightful place.
Outro:
So, let us stand in awe and wonder, at the price He chose to pay,
For the stripes He bore in silence, wash our deepest stains away.
In His wounds, we find our victory, in His scars, our story told,
Stripes of salvation, our healing to behold.
