It Is Finished
Dorothy Norwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The battle's been fought
The victory won
Praise the Father
And the Son
It is done
Once there was a battle
Between Satan and Christ
But it wasn't much of a fight
The battle took place at Calvary
Satan suffered a fatal loss
Christ whipped him
With his hand nailed to the cross
When we're surrounded and outnumbered
Be strong and trust in him
For He who is the first
Is more than they with him
With him the arms are flesh
With us the Lord our God
Like a vessel He's gonna break him
Whipped with a nail and cross
