He died for you and me
His death, a victorious testimony
It is finished. It is finished
Jesus gave His life
It is finished. It is finished
The ultimate sacrifice
Jesus paid It All
He had the receipts
Jesus paid it all
No more spirit of defeat
It is finished. It is finished
Jesus gave His life
It is finished. It is finished
The ultimate sacrifice
It was a proclamation
we've been redeemed
prophecy fulfilled
God intervened
the battle was won
the sentence was served
His mission completed
the resurrection most deserved
It is finished. It is finished
Jesus gave His life
It is finished. It is finished
The ultimate sacrifice
No more suffering
No more sin
His death for us
A triumphant win
Jesus paid It All
He had the receipts
Jesus paid it all
No more spirit of defeat
It is finished. It is finished
Jesus gave His life
It is finished. It is finished
The ultimate sacrifice
He’s Done It
He’s done it
I don’t have to
No need for me
To struggle, worry, fret.
He’s done it all.
Each failure, fault of mine,
I can’t go back and do them right
Though spend a load of time.
No effort of my mind
Can go to yesterday
And change those thoughts and words
That God defines as sin.
So what’s to do
To get things right
Move out of darkness into light?
I’d better spend more time in prayer
And read my Bible more,
Take much more care
Control my thoughts
Control my lips
Control my motives too.
Oh Jesus, come again to me
Show me the Way, the Truth, the Life,
Help me relax
Find peace in You
Walk in Your ways
Think as You think,
No more in self
To slide and sink.
I need Your work
Your glorious work
At Calvary.
You died for me
You bore my sins
You rose again to give new life,
My precious, precious Lord!
IT is vital to know one's purpose
THE goal is to complete, to finish
INERTIA is not an option
SAlVATION is costly to God
FINAL exams speak volumes
I want to endure and prevail
NEVER neglect to finish it
IF not I, then who?
SACRIFICES are often demanded
HEAVEN is a real place
ETERNÌTY has no clock
DEDICATED and determined
In two volumes two different ages are
Advised.' So I am informed.' Perhaps
Its filthy lies.? Do let me know because
I have never read.' Of the quran or talmud
On their lines I've never fed..I hear
An age of nine years old..In the quran is
Advised? for females as suitable for making wives? And in the talmud four years
Old here I must be bold.' is the
counterpoint there carried.?
If this is so.? I wonder not that Yeshua
Took a stand.' And turned the tables over
He drove them whip in hand.' Out of His
Temple out to the streets, where later they
Would (send Him?) hln His cross to meet.'
I wonder not why He died to quell this un-palatable division that sketches hell.' No
More to have islam and jewish strife.' With
such lies to tell.'
Rather to cut away the dead flesh of laws
So rife, with disadvantage with slave and free.' Who were; yet both in darkness as far
As i see..I say call to Yeshua in these troubled hours, put no faith in worldly kings
And cold stone towers.'
( it is finished !)
i'd just come in and made a cup of tea.
ten minutes later, i went to admire my work by the front window
that's when i saw him
he'd already made a start
he had pulled up the windscreen wipers
sponge and bowl full of bubbly water
fast-paced doesn't do it justice
washing, with mischief and energy
magnificently grotesque; a cunning, vacant expression
did i trigger this?
is this a coincidence?
i wanted to go and ask him
i went through the imagined conversation
but i couldn't do it
and i watched him groom the taillights
my wife hadn't noticed how clean our car was
i sulked at dinner, eating my
emotionally abused peas
You’re in a fine mess.
Admit it and embrace it.
This is the result of your obsession.
It’s time to deal with the consequences.
You’ve been avoiding reality way too long.
Lying to everyone and especially to yourself.
Sure you managed to fool people temporarily.
You even bought yourself a little time.
But it’s all been a worthless illusion.
You lost more than you bargained for.
You came way close to losing everything.

I’ve finished with travels, for I can’t agree
With the reasons I’m discriminated
Won’t pay for the visa a notable fee
Won’t wait in the queue of migrated
I’m blamed for the crimes which I didn’t commit
Stigmatized for a thing they call “nation”
I’ve nowhere to go and I’ve no one to meet
My train doesn’t stop at your station
I may not be happy about it, but such
Is the case that I’ve to comprehend
My dear foreign friend, I don’t know you that much
As you seem to know who I am
I’m lazy, incurious, spoiled and defiant
I live in the land of the snow
I’m a parallel world to political giants
That all of you are, as I know
Think better of me, if you can, for I’m not
Your enemy or cater cousin
Who dreams to come over with problems he’s got
To share at least half a dozen.
It Is Finished
His body abused
His blood shed
Our sin forgiven
Henry never finished anything
He always had eight to twenty projects going
I am in the middle of that one, he would say.
And that one, and that one and that one.
If he was a murderer the world would be a safer place.
I never knew him to take anything to completion.
Your past is the foundation for your future, but it doesn't have to be the finished product
My life slows down
more days in medical care than at home,
experts can’t track
what makes my heart tick like it does.
My failing mind loses weight,
I’m moved to auxiliary care
longing for the end.
Do not grieve for me,
my life on earth is finished
I’m ready for heaven.
Dad was going to repaper the wall.
Mum held the ladder, so he did not fall.
Will it be done by noon?
Dad smiled and did say "soon".
Speaking loud “keep it level” Dad did call.
Mum unhappy - planned it red all along.
Dad "asked what made you sad, Wow what is wrong?"
He completed the deed.
It's a rest he did need.
"Pink?" said Mum"I want it redder, so strong!"
Isolation breeds loneliness and fear
Trust is our great wall of defense
Indeed, 'IT' can be finished, but we need not be
Salvation is not about us, but what Christ did for us
Faith and grace have to work together
I cannot succeed without help from others
No human weapon against us can 'finish' us
I may fail, but I will never be finished
Surrendering to God like Christ is the key
History reveals the power of resilience
Eternity is an idea made in heaven
Death has a sentence of doom
Better than before
maybe this is the best
we doing our thing
and I must confess
i heard your tenors tone
through the cigar smoke
I laughed along when you
told that joke
you know the one with
the two baritones
the one who loved the soloist
and who wished to be alone
when he serenaded
the pretty woman
all stopped to see what
was going on
she smiled one day
and spoke his name
it changed everything
it rearranged
that's how I want it
with my gal
just like that
just like that
Gotta man thinking
he can be your everything
Thats the kinda joy
true love brings
gotta man changing from fool
to a man
thats the kinda woman
who compliments her man
got me feeling
you got me feeling this way
what can I say to those
that opposse
when they frown
and turn up there nose
what kinda words
makes everything okay
Can't satisfy everyone
work real hard
and have alot of fun
you got ah
fella feeling this way
I love my Lady
I'm her man
she's my Lady
I'm her Man!
