In the heat of early morning on a hill
They call The Skull
The roaring of the angry mob
Had settled to a lull
All eyes were cast upon the man
Whose hands and feet were bound
They saw Him cry in anguish
When they heard the hammer pound
They saw the bloody woven thorns with
Which His head was crowned
They watched the bloody cross of wood
Be dropped into the ground
The soldiers gambled for His clothes
They watched them win and lose
They saw the sign above His head
That said "King of the Jews
It is finished
And the sky grew black as the night
It is finished
And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done
Redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
They searched His face for anger
For vengeance in his stare
Instead of eyes that burned with hate
A look of love was there
He prayed for their forgiveness
And bowed His battered head
And no one knew the meaning
Of the final words He said
It is finished
And the sky grew black as the night
It is finished
And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done
Redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
The provision has been made
The foundation has been laid
He paid the ransom due
And tore the temple veil in two
And opened up the way
For me and you
It is finished
It is finished
And the sky grew black as the night
It is finished
And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done
Redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
Red is the color of the blood that flowed
Down the face of Someone Who loved us so
He's the perfect man, He's the Lord's own son,
He's the Lamb of God, He's the only one
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
That can make the love between us flow.
Blue is the color of a heart so cold
It will not bend when the story's told
Of the love of God for a sinful race
Of the blood that flowed down Jesus face
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold.
Gold is the color of the morning sun
That shines so freely an every one
It's the sun above that keeps us warm
It's the Son of love that calms the storm
That can give us life that can make us grow,
That can turn our mornings into gold.
Brown is the color of the autumn leaves
When the winter comes to the barren trees
There is birth, there is death, there is a plan
And there's just one God, and there's just one man
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make our sins as white as snow
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can turn our mornings into gold.
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold.
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make the love between us flow.

He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb SO HE OPENED NOT HIS MOUTH'(Isa.53:7)
But don't let doctrinal purity get in the way of a good song.
