"Man Of Many Sorrows" lyrics - RICHIE FURAY

But oh, few believed it, who will listen, who'll be saved?
In His Father's eyes, a tender plant,
Come to save us from the grave.
In our eyes unattractive, nothing made us want Him at all
This Man of Many Sorrows - who would save us from our fall

He was oppressed and He was afflicted
And yet He never said a word
As when He laid in the manger and no crying there was heard
Now as a lamb led to slaughter, He stood silently again
But who among those people knew, He was dying for their sin

All we like sheep have gone astray
We have turned everyone to his own way
We rejected, and we despised Him
But there's one thing that you should know - He loves you so

He will reign again and God's kingdom
Will be established in His hand
This Man of Many Sorrows, will give us His perfect plan

It was the LORD's good plan to bruise Him, and to fill Him with our grief
His soul was made an offering, from sin we have relief
Now in righteousness He lives, He reigns to the glory of heaven's praise
This Man of Many sorrows, God faithfully has raised

But oh, few believed it, Who will listen, who'll be saved
By this Man of Many Sorrows,
This Man of Many Sorrows
Whose life, for us He gave
