ISAIAH 53 3-5
He was despised and rejected by men,
A man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
Surely He took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered Him stricken by God,
smitten by Him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was
upon Him,
And by His wounds we are healed.
NIV
(I like the King James verse on the last line)
And by His stripes we are healed.

Inspirational Song written 25 years ago called "I Remember," the words in Isaiah above have been read many times prior to the song...I hope you can hear the melody in your head as I do.
I REMEMBER (c) Mike Pignotti 1986
I remember when You first,
Called me Your friend
Watch the devil run from my,
Run from my mind.
Feeling of constant companion You filled up my heart soul and mind are all Yours.
On the cross at Calvary
Died for every man
With Your grace and
Love You saved
All from deadly sin.
Under gentile forces through demons drive, over any mountain Your power will arise.
Walk me in Your footsteps
show me where to go…
Sharpen up my conscience
for You I want to grow.
Thank You for healing praise upon Your name, Father Son and Spirit we shall know.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For you I want to GROW ...is how Mike wrote the song...but when I get a hold of it...I love the song...I always sing "For YOU I want to glow."
I remember when You first,
Called me Your friend
Watch the devil run from my,
Run from my mind.
Feeling of constant companion You filled up my heart soul and mind are all Yours.
On the cross at Calvary
Died for every man
With Your grace and
Love You saved
All from deadly sin.
Under gentile forces through demons drive, over any mountain Your power will arise.
Walk me in Your footsteps
show me where to go…
Sharpen up my conscience
for You I want to grow.
Thank You for healing praise upon Your name, Father Son and Spirit we shall know.
Happy 25th Mike...and I pray that God will keep inspiring you with gifts that you are able to share- through your music and the inspirational words you write.
I also thank God for the time I have been able to spend at Agape Flights mid-week...Every Wednesday at 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. for the devotional time...
