It Is Finished

There was war between the goodness
of Jesus and the evil one.
But, Jesus endured all things 
for us. It is finished. It is done.

He fasted forty days and nights, 
Satan tempting Him with things.
But, Jesus said not to tempt the 
Lord God, lest evil it brings.

He is the Son of God. He was here 
for our souls to save.
But, Satan was fighting to the end, 
Til all were in their grave.

I'm so glad I had Jesus on my side. 
Truth and goodness won.
It is finished. We shall go on to 
the Father, through the Son.

All who believe in His Holy Name 
and accept, with mouth and heart,
This Son of the Father will 
never from your side part.

He said it was finished as He gave 
up the ghost, on that old hill;
Just as it will be finished for us, 
if we go to the Father, through
the Son, His will.

He was on the old cross, upon a hill 
that day, praying - possibly again.
I do so thank Him. As He said, "It is 
finished, He paid for my sin."

I can now, safely go through life;
knowing I am hid in He,
Who said "It is finished," when on that
old Cross-, He died for me.

While He was in the world, all the Father
gave Him, He did keep.
None lost but Satan. Jesus was safely
keeping His sheep.

He was the Blessed Shepherd, 
going against the mighty foe;
Even, to the bottomless pit, for it to
be finished, our Lord did go.
