It is Finished (cover)

A friend of mine sent me a text asking him to pray for him during a time of testing - a "battle." The first thought that came to my mind was that Jesus not only goes before us in battle (Deut 20:4), but the battle belongs to him (2 Chron. 20:15) and he doesn't lose.  He defeated sin and death (1 Cor. 15).  He has won the war!  What we must do is to continue to wear the Armor of God for our protection (Ephesians 6) and speak the sWord of God to combat the enemy who is alive on the prowl seeking people to devour (1 Peter 5:8).

I thought this cover of "It Is Finished" (originally by Dustin Kensrue) was very cool on several levels.  First, I can just tell this couple is totally in love. Silly/weird? but so rad to see.  Second, this is a powerful song pointing believers to the truth that we have victory in Christ because of what he has done.  Enjoy.


It Is Finished Lyrics
There's no deed that can redeem us
There's no rite, no magic word
Only by the work of Jesus
Can salvation be secured

It is finished! He has done it!
Let your weary heart rejoice
Our redemption is accomplished
Raise a shout with ragged voice

And go bravely into battle
Knowing he has won the war
It is finished, lift your head
And weep no more

There's no sacrifice to offer
There's no penance to complete
Freely drink of living water
Without money come and feast

Let every sinner rejoice
Hear the dying victor's cry
Raise up your voice
Sing it out through earth and sky
