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
