"Behold the Man!.... Behold Your King!.... When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost" (John 19:5,14,30).
Now finally the work is done
That saves me from eternal loss!
I hear the words of God the Son
Say: "It is finished!" on the cross!
I see the Man! I see my King!
I see the Lamb of God who died
To make Himself an Offering
By which I have been justified!
He took the cross, the crown of thorns,
The vinegar for thirst they gave,
The wagging heads, and haughty scorns
From sinners that He came to save!
I thank You for that race, O Lord,
You ran until You crossed the line
To gain for me Your great reward:
The grace that makes salvation mine!
