It Is Finished

God's love goes out to comfort

To save and justify

But only through the blood of Messiah

On that flow I do rely.

For Yeshua is my Saviour

His blood he gave for me

This love of God is shown

Through the Rood at Calvary.

Forbid it Lord indeed that I should be

Conscious of one thing but

Your wondrous love to me.



And may I never, ever

Put a value on that blood,

For I could never really know

The price of that dear flood.



Because I do remember

And may this always be

Those words that Yeshua spoke

When he cried out at Calvary.

For while hanging on that Cross

We can hear God's decree;

"My Father, Oh my Father

this completes my destiny!"  *

And those other words he cried

As his life deminished

Before they pierced his precious side

But three words, "It is finished"



John 19:30,34  *(quotation from the Peshitta) from Mark 15:34 of the Aramaic text

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The Hebrew text speaks at Mark 15:34, 'my God, my God why have you forsaken me?' However the Aramaic text gives quite a different picture indeed, and speaks of the fulfillment of the reason the messiah had come, to suffer and die for man. So on the tree the Saviour cries out to his Father, 'my God, my God for this was I spared!' or this completes my destiny or the reason that I came.  Yeshua taught that 'my father is always with me' and that 'God forsakes not the righteous'
