It Is Finished Poem by Royston Nella

It Is Finished



Resounding throughout the Universe,
Transcending time and space,
is the greatest shout of victory
heard by the human race!
For from the lips of Jesus Christ
came that triumphant cry.
'It is finished! ' was His shout as
He laid down his life to die...

All scripture's been fulfilled,
each prophecy complete,
God's Son of whom the Prophets spoke
held Satan in defeat!
The battle has been won by Christ,
the immortal God who died.
His sacred blood has flowed for sin
and God's Law is satisfied!

How vast the ransom Jesus paid,
for no work was left undone.
The gate to Heaven opened wide
by God's eternal Son!
Mankind's great debt has been redeemed;
and the price for sin's been paid!
The shame and suffering is over,
full atonement has been made.

My Lord, my God was crucified,
each sinner's faithful friend.
The Alpha and Omega is,
the Beginning and the end!
Christ's perfect life was sacrificed,
as God's dreadful price for sins.
The Age of Law ends at the Cross,
and the Age of Grace begins.

The mighty battle is now over;
Man's redemption's been won.
No more need for types and shadows,
now the will of God's been done!
For Satan has been defeated
by Christ The Crucified,
The sting of Death's was vanquished,
as the grave burst open wide!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The Death of Jesus
Matthew 27

From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani? " (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? ") .

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling Elijah."

Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God! "
