We see before us a man
despised and rejected,
a man of suffering,
acquainted with pain,
from whom people hide
their faces--
obviously a man of no
account.
Jesus, lay your hands on
us again,
restore our sight, that
we may see clearly.
You who were persecuted,
held to be worthless--
don't you call us to
heal the brokenhearted
and bind up their
wounds?
