Isaiah 42:1-9
New International Version (NIV)
The Servant of the Lord
42 “Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will bring justice to the nations.
2 He will not shout or cry out,
or raise his voice in the streets.
3 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
4 he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on earth.
In his teaching the islands will put their hope.”
my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,

2 He will not shout or cry out,

3 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
4 he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on earth.
In his teaching the islands will put their hope.”
5 This is what God the Lord says—
the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out,
who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it,
who gives breath to its people,
and life to those who walk on it:
6 “I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,
7 to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

8 “I am the Lord; that is my name!
I will not yield my glory to another
or my praise to idols.
9 See, the former things have taken place,
and new things I declare;
before they spring into being
I announce them to you.”

I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about meAnd I enjoy an accolade like the restAnd you could take my picture and hang it in a galleryOf all the who's who's and so-and-soThat used to be the best at such and suchIt wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lightsWe all need an 'Atta Boy' or 'Atta Girl'In the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besidesThe temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy, how will they remember me?Did I choose to love? Did I point to you enoughTo make a mark on things? I want to leave an offeringA child of mercy and grace who blessed your nameUnapologetically and leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhileTo make a lengthly list of all that I enjoyIt's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pileWhere moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
I want to leave a legacy, how will they remember me?Did I choose to love? Did I point to you enoughTo make a mark on things? I want to leave an offeringA child of mercy and grace who blessed your nameUnapologetically and leave that kind of legacy
Not well traveled, not well readNot well-to-do or well bredI just want to hear instead"Well done good and faithful one"Yeah, yeah
I want to leave a legacy, how will they remember me?Did I choose to love? Did I point to you enoughTo make a mark on things? I want to leave an offeringA child of mercy and grace who blessed your nameUnapologetically and leave that kind of legacy
I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
