| Fifty-Three verse Six, | Right hand, point out out the syllables in the sky, from right to left |
| A verse we need to hear, | 'verse': make a bible with two hands palms up in front of chest, 'hear': put hands behind ears, palms facing forwards |
| Fifty-Three verse Six, | Left hand, point out syllables again |
| Isaiah makes it clear: | 'Isaiah': feel an imaginary beard, 'clear': left hand, thumb and first finger open in shape of C, smoothly mark out a strip in the air, as if that's writing that's clear. |
| We all, like sheep, have gone astray. | Hands on top of head like sheep ears, fingers waggling |
| We've turned, each one, to his own way. | Dance through a complete circle on the spot |
| And the LORD has laid on him | arms outstretched in front, hands high, palms down, and then bow down (as if laying something on someone) |
| the iniquity of us all. | Both arms outstretched like a cross - one on 'iniquity', the other on 'of us', then head bowed on 'all' |
| 1. Iniquity? What's that? | Shrug, hands palms up kind-of action |
| It's when we don't go God's way. | wag both first fingers in front of you several times |
| The things we do | march on spot |
| the things we say, | hands to either side of mouth |
| Sometimes the Bible calls it SIN | make a bible with your hands, and then on 'SIN' stand back in amazement with hands palms forward out to either side of head |
| but here it says "Iniquity!" | shake hands and bring them down to both sides in a circle |
| 2. Laid on him? Who's that? | Shrug, hands palms up kind-of action |
| It turns out that it's Jesus. | dance a bit, then point to sky on 'Jesus' |
| The Servant who came to save us. | both hands together up to top right, palms outwards, and sweep down to bottom left |
| As Jesus died up on the cross | reverse the previous action to sweep up to top right again |
| That's where God "laid it all on him!" | now hands to top front, and bow down with hands going from ceiling to floor |
| NB: the backing track is at a slower tempo to the full track - it's easier to sing! |
