God's Rustic Hymns - It Is Finished, Jesus Is King Lyrics

It Is Finished, Jesus Is King recounts the crucifixion and resurrection through concise declarations of completed redemption. The darkened sky, shaking earth, and torn veil place the first verse within the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ death. The chorus then joins the cry that the work is finished with images of a paid debt, a moved stone, defeated sin, and conquered death. These images gather Good Friday and resurrection hope into one repeated proclamation of Christ’s kingship.

The second verse focuses on grace flowing from Calvary, while the bridge turns the completed work of Christ toward freedom from striving and chains. The song’s claims closely align with passages that describe Jesus’ final words from the cross, access to God through the torn curtain, and victory over death. Its repetition gives the lyric the character of a congregational confession: redemption rests on what Christ has accomplished, mercy has answered guilt, and death does not have the final word. The closing title line leaves that confidence centered on Jesus as King.
