John 19:1-30
In the heat of early morning on a hill they call the Skull
Words & Music by Bob Hartman
The roaring of the angry mob had settled to a lull
They saw him cry in anguish when they heard the hammer pound
All eyes were cast upon the man whose hands and feet were bound
They watched the bloody cross of wood be dropped into the ground
They saw the bloody woven thorns with which his head was crowned
They saw the sign above his head that said "King of the Jews"
The soldiers gambled for his clothes, they watched them win and lose
The work had been done, redemption had been won
(It is finished) And the sky grew black as the night
(It is finished) And the people scattered in fright
It is finished
The war was over without a fight
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
It is finished, the provision has been made
And no one knew the meaning of the final words he said
He paid the ransom due and tore the temple veil in two
It is finished, the foundation has been laid
And opened up the way for me and you
