It Is Finished Songtext
von Bill & Gloria Gaither and their Homecoming Friends

There′s a line that is drawn through the ages
On that line stands that old rugged cross
On that cross a battle is raging
For the gain of 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
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
There hangs God's son in the balance
And then through the darkness he cries


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

Yet in my heart the battle was raging
Not all prisoners of war have come home
These were battlefields of my own making
I didn′t know that the war had been won

Then I heard that the king of the ages
Had fought all my battles for me
And victory, victory was mine for the claiming
And now praise his name, I am free

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 (Jesus is Lord)


It is finished, and Jesus is Lord
Jesus is Lord, woo
(Thank you)
(Praise the Lord, thank you)
