Petra – It Is Finished (Guitar)

       Dm                               Gm
In the heat of the early morning, on a hill they called the skull,

    Gm             Am             Bb      C    Dm
the roaring of the angry mob had settled to a lull.

       Dm                               Gm
All eyes were cast upon the man, whose hands and feet were bound;

     Gm            Am                 Bb         C     Dm
they saw him cry aninguish when they heard the hammer pound.

      Dm                                Dm
They saw the bloody woven thorns, with which his head was crowned.

      Dm                 Dm              Bb       C       Dm
They watched the bloody cross of wood be dropped into the ground.

      Dm                                     Dm
The soldiers gambled for His clothes. They watched them win and lose.

      Dm           Dm                  Bb        C      Dm
They saw the sign above His head that said King of the Jews.

       Dm                Bb        C           Dm
It is finished, and the sky grew black as the night.

       Dm                Bb        Gm           A
It is finished, and the people scattered in fright.

     Bb            F      Gm                Dm
The work had been done, Redemption had been won.

             F     Gm        A             Dm
The war was over without a fight, it is finished!

       Dm                               Dm
They searched His face for anger, for vengeance in His stare.

  Dm                   Dm                  Bb      C        Dm
instead of eyes that burned with hate, a look of love was there.

     Dm                              Dm
He prayed for their forgiveness and bowed His battered head,

     Dm               Dm            Bb         C   Dm
and no-one knew the meaning of the final words He said.

       Dm                Bb        C           Dm
It is finished, and the sky grew black as the night.

       Dm                Bb        Gm           A
It is finished, and the people scattered in fright.

     Bb            F      Gm                Dm
The work had been done, Redemption had been won.

             F     Gm        A             Dm     Bm
The war was over without a fight, it is finished!

Bm      C     F#m       Bm          Bm       A        F#m
The provision has been made. The foundation has been laid.

    Gm        Dm                      E             Dm
He paid the ransom due and tore the temple veil in two,

      C           Gm              A            Dm
and opened up the way for me and you, it is finished!

F                Gm         A           Dm
                                  it is finished
