In the heat of the 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 watched 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 

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
