The servant


After Isaiah 42:1-13

So who is this servant
we’re told to behold?
We’re not told his name
or his family or position;
what matters is
who’s upholding
who’s chosen
who creates delight
who will not break
who will not cry out
who will not faint
who will not be 
   discouraged
who will establish
   justice
who will not shatter
despite the bruise.
The servant is the Lord
is the servant
is the Lord
