A Lenten Musical Journey, Day 37

Today’s piece is “Surely He has borne our griefs” by Kevin Sadowski.

I don’t even know who this “Kevin Sadowski” fellow is. I stumbled across the recording by accident while researching #MyLentInMusic entries, and was transfixed. (I was searching for something else entirely, and the recording “Lamentations: Music of Tenebrae” by the ProMusica of Washington Adventist University kept coming up. I’m glad for the coincidence, though.)

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 bruised for our iniquities.
Upon Him was the chastisement that made us whole.
And with His stripes we are healed.
