Prayers from the Cross of Jesus: # 6 "It Is Finished"
Contemplating and meditating on the 7 Cries of Jesus on the Cross recorded in the gospels.
In this prayer, a reflection on what Christ has achieved as much as what He said, we can consider how the old sacrifices were repeated day after day, year after year. With respect to those old sacrifices, they were “finished” only to be repeated the next.
It should overwhelm with thankfulness that what Jesus is done is complete indeed. And yet we are still longing for His work in us to be completed.
Written and read by Sammy Davies
Inspired by John 19:30

Finished
Accomplished
Your suffering has ceased
Our salvation achieved
For You came to make a way
And a way You made - through blood and tears
How hard we would otherwise struggle
To make ourselves acceptable
How burdensome the task
To make ourselves somehow ‘lovely’
How costly it had seemed to offer again and again
How costly was the single gift You gave
Once sacrifices were on repeat
But this Lamb is enough
You hung where our lives lead
And in rescuing, deliver us where You are
You have set us apart
So make us HOLY in our lives
You have changed everything for us
So LORD please change us
There is nothing we can do
So put us to the work You have prepared
Amen
