Man of Sorrows (Acoustic) - William Chong

David Potter's acoustic arrangement of Philip P Bliss's "Hallelujah, What a Saviour (Man of Sorrows).

Played it at HBC on Good Friday service in 2011 and the guitar amp stopped working just as the song was meant to start! So recorded this to make up for it. :)


"​He was despised and rejected by men;
​​a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
​​he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

​Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
​​smitten by God, and afflicted.

​But he was wounded for our transgressions;
​​he was crushed for our iniquities;
​upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
​​and with his stripes we are healed." - Isaiah 53:3-5


Happy Easter everyone!


Lyrics:
Man of Sorrows what a name
For the Son of God, Who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim
Hallelujah, o what a Savior

Bearing shame and scoffing rude
In my place condemned He stood
Sealed my pardon with His blood
Hallelujah, o what a Savior

Guilty, vile, and helpless we
Spotless Lamb of God was He
Full atonement! Can it be?
Hallelujah, o what a Savior

Lifted up was He to die; "It is finished" was His cry
Now in heaven exalted high, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

When He comes, our glorious King
All His ransomed home to bring
Then a new song we will sing
Hallelujah, o what a Savior
