It Is Finished
In the heat of early morning on a hill
They call The Skull
The roaring of the angry mob
Had settled to a lull
All eyes were cast upon the man
Whose hands and feet were bound
They saw Him cry in anguish
When they heard the hammer pound
They saw the bloody woven thorns with
Which His head was crowned
They watched the bloody cross of wood
Be dropped into the ground
The soldiers gambled for His clothes
They watched them win and lose
They saw the sign above His head
That said "King of the Jews"
It is finished
And the sky grew black as the night
It is finished
And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done
Redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
They searched His face for anger
For vengeance in His stare
Instead of eyes that burned with hate
A look of love was there
He prayed for their forgiveness
And bowed His battered head
And no one knew the meaning
Of the final words He said
It is finished
And the sky grew black as the night
It is finished
And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done
Redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
The provision has been made
The foundation has been laid
He paid the ransom due
And tore the temple veil in two
And opened up the way
For me and you
It is finished
It is finished
And the sky grew black as the night
It is finished
And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done
Redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
They call The Skull
The roaring of the angry mob
Had settled to a lull
All eyes were cast upon the man
Whose hands and feet were bound
They saw Him cry in anguish
When they heard the hammer pound
They saw the bloody woven thorns with
Which His head was crowned
They watched the bloody cross of wood
Be dropped into the ground
The soldiers gambled for His clothes
They watched them win and lose
They saw the sign above His head
That said "King of the Jews"
It is finished
And the sky grew black as the night
It is finished
And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done
Redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
They searched His face for anger
For vengeance in His stare
Instead of eyes that burned with hate
A look of love was there
He prayed for their forgiveness
And bowed His battered head
And no one knew the meaning
Of the final words He said
It is finished
And the sky grew black as the night
It is finished
And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done
Redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
The provision has been made
The foundation has been laid
He paid the ransom due
And tore the temple veil in two
And opened up the way
For me and you
It is finished
It is finished
And the sky grew black as the night
It is finished
And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done
Redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
