this Good Friday

Go to fullsize image


Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.  But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:4-5).

The other gods were strong; but Thou wast weak.

They rode, but Thou didst stumble to thy throne.

But to our wounds only God's wounds can speak,

And not a god has wounds but Thou alone.
