It is finished-
Age old words spoken of what messiah
must do, must be, must suffer
finished in…
words of forgiveness…
cries of lament…
moves of fulfillment…
finished in you.
It is finished-
the suffering of God,
the raged breaths, the free flowing blood, the mockery…
head bowed, now you give up your spirit.
It is finished
so blood and water flow.
It is finished-
your disciples take your body down
wrapped in the shroud and spices of death
laid in a tomb,
and all they can think is
“It is finished.”
The temple has been torn asunder,
and God now bleeds with man.
For this you were born,
To hang and die.
At the right time
You ragingly cried:
“It is finished!”
