It Is Finished
[Verse 1]
There`s a line that is drawn through the ages
On that line stands an old rugged cross
On that cross a battle is raging
To gain a man's soul or it`s loss
On one side march the forces of evil
All the demons and all the devils of hell
But on the other, the angels of glory
And they meet on Golgotha`s hill
The earth shakes with the force of the conflict
And the sun refuses to shine
For there hangs God`s son in the balance
And then through the darkness He cries
[Chorus]
It is finished, the battle is over
It is finished, there`ll be no more war
It is finished, the end of the conflict
It is finished and Jesus is Lord
[Verse 2]
Yet in my heart the battle was raging
Not all prisoners of war had come home
These were battlefields of my own making
See I didn't know that the war had been won
Oh then I heard that the king of the ages
He had fought all life's battles for me
Oh and the victory, the victory is mine for the claiming
And now praise His name, I'm free
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Oh it is finished and Jesus is Lord
Jesus is Lord
