(The Obedient Servant) (The Third Servant Song – Isaiah 50:4–11 ) (NKJV) [Instrumental Intro] (Verse 1) The Lord God has given Me The tongue of the learned, That I should know how to speak A word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to hear, To hear as the learned. [Brief Reflective Instrumental] (Verse 2) The Lord God has opened My ear; And I was not rebellious, Nor did I turn away. I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face From shame and spitting. (Chorus) Jesus Christ, our Righteousness,Faithful, holy Servant King. You bore our sin and shame upon the cross; To You alone our hearts we bring. You walked the path of suffering, Yet trusted in the Father's will.Jesus Christ, our Righteousness, Our Saviour, Lord, forever King. [Instrumental Interlude] (Verse 3) For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced. Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed. He is near who justifies Me; Who will contend with Me? Let us stand together. Who is My adversary? Let him come near Me. [Brief Reflective Instrumental] (Verse 4) Surely the Lord God will help Me; Who is he who will condemn Me?Indeed they all grow old like a garment; The moth will eat them up. Who among you fears the Lord?Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord, And rely upon his God. [Instrumental Interlude] (Verse 5) Look, all you who kindle a fire,Who encircle yourselves with sparks: Walk in the light of your fire, And in the sparks you have kindled. This you shall have from My hand: You shall lie down in torment. (Final Chorus) Jesus Christ, our Righteousness,Faithful, holy Servant King. You bore our sin and shame upon the cross; To You alone our hearts we bring. You walked the path of suffering, Yet trusted in the Father's will.Jesus Christ, our Righteousness, Our Saviour, Lord, forever King.
