Such a wonderful prophecy about the coming of Christ! I sent the melody to Larry and he penned these wonderful words. My mother, Patsy Stevens, created the basis for the keyboard arrangement and Larry completed it. Check out Larry's popular web site for more midi files.

(Verse 1)
Who has believed
All that we have heard,
Of the blessed news that now we bring?
To whom is revealed
The coming of Messiah,
Coming of our Lord and King?
For He has borne our grief,
And known our sin and pain,
Was bruised for all our iniquity,
By His sacrifice, set the captive free,
That w-e ma-y live again!
(Verse 2)
He was despised,
Rejected by His own,
Who, like sheep, had all been led astray.
He was oppressed,
Yet He opened not His mouth
As in judgement He was led away.
And He who knew no sin
Received our guilt and pain;
In sacrifice, His life laid down,
That in righteousness would our souls be found,
That w-e ma-y live again!
(Verse 3)
Who has believed
All that we have heard,
Of the blessed news that now we sing?
Praise to the Lord,
Redeemer and Messiah,
Everliving Lord and King!
His soul is satisfied
By the fruit of His travail.
His righteous kingdom has no end;
He is our Master, Lord, and Friend;
His Wo-rd wi-ll never fail!
(Repeat First Chorus)
Yes, He has borne our grief,
And known our sin and pain,
Was bruised for all our iniquity,
By His sacrifice, set the captive free,
That w-e ma-y live again!
That w-e ma-y live again!
