Back

Systematic Slaughter

He was oppressed; he was afflicted
Yet he opened not his mouth
He was a lamb led to the slaughter
So he opened not his mouth

Taken from prison, taken from judgement
Who will declare his name
Cut off from the land of the living
Stricken for my transgressions

Systematic slaughter
The lamb for the slaughter
Systematic slaughter
Led to the slaughter

Yet for your sake, killed all day long
Accounted as sheep for the slaughter
Awaken o Lord, why do you sleep
Arise. Do not cast us away
Why do you hide your face, tell me why
Forgetting all our oppression
Our soul bowed down to the dust
Arise for our help, redeem us

Systematic slaughter
The lamb for the slaughter
Systematic slaughter
Led to the slaughter

It pleased the Lord to bruise Him
He has put him to grief
His soul, an offering for sin
He shall bear our iniquity
He shall divide- spoil with the strong
Poured out his soul unto death
Bearing our sin, salvation begins
Intercession for my transgressions
