He Didnt Turn Away by Abigail Miller Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were despised and rejected
A man of sorrows, acquainted with grief
Though you were sinless and holy
You bore it all because of me
You were wounded for my transgressions
Bruised for my iniquities
You were worthy of all adoration
But you took my shame, and gave me peace

[Chorus]
And You didn't turn away from the burden I carried
You didn't run from me or from the load I was bearing
You came willingly, and gave Your life for me
And took my stripes, that I might go free

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I am asked to carry burdens
To suffer pain from what others do and say
Inside I am running from their problems
To find my peace in getting far away
'Til I remember that one day upon a rugged cross
Jesus bore the pain I fashioned with my sin
He laid down His life without a word
And now I begin to see how I can be like Him
[Chorus]
'Cause He didn't turn away from the burden I carried
He didn't run from me, or from the load I was bearing
He came willingly, and gave His life for me
And took my stripes, that I might go free

[Outro]
To love one another, He's commanded us to do
He said, "Love your brother, as I have loved you."
So I will not turn away from the burden you carry
I will not run from you, or from the load you are bearing
He came willingly, Christ came willingly
And He didn't turn away . .
O, Lord, use my life, that others may go free
