Lyrics
Verse 1
On the rugged cross
Bearing sin and shame
Where the Lamb of God
Stood in my place
Where the women wept
Near the tomb He laid
Till the angel said
"It's an empty grave"
Chorus
Praise, praise the Lord
It is finished, it is done
Praise, praise the Lord
For the cross and for Your blood
Thank You for Your sacrifice
We'll never know the cost
Praise, praise the Lord
The gospel is enough
Verse 2
In an upper room
Your Spirit was sent
And tongues of fire
Would rest on their heads
So let the wind of God
Blow upon this place
And the Holy Ghost
Come fill us again
Chorus
Praise, praise the Lord
It is finished, it is done
Praise, praise the Lord
For the cross and for Your blood
Thank You for Your sacrifice
We'll never know the cost
Praise, praise the Lord
The gospel is enough
Bridge
There will be a day
When our eyes behold
The most beautiful face
Of Christ our Lord
And the kingdom of God
Will be ushered in
On eternal praise
Forever amen
Chorus
Oh, we thank You, Jesus
Sing there will be
Oh, there will be a day
When our eyes behold
The most beautiful face
Of Christ our Lord
And the kingdom of God
Will be ushered in
On eternal praise
Forever amen
Chorus
Praise, praise the Lord
It is finished, it is done
Praise, praise the Lord
For the cross and for Your blood
Thank You for Your sacrifice
We'll never know the cost
Praise, praise the Lord
The gospel is enough
Oh, praise
Praise, praise the Lord
The gospel is enough
Praise, praise the Lord
The gospel is enough
Praise, praise the Lord
The gospel is enough

Thank You for the cross
Oh, we thank You for the cross
We thank You for Your blood
We thank You for Your nail-bruised hands

Oh, it overflows
Oh, it overflows

Meaning & Inspiration
The song presents the gospel through a sequence of scenes: the cross, the empty grave, the coming of the Holy Spirit, and the promised reign of Christ. Its repeated praise is rooted in the sacrifice of Jesus, with the declaration that the work is finished giving the chorus its central confidence. Gratitude for the cross and blood keeps the focus on redemption rather than human achievement.
The second verse recalls the Spirit resting on the gathered believers in tongues of fire, then turns that memory into a prayer for renewed filling. The bridge looks ahead to seeing Christ and joining in eternal praise. Together, these movements give the song a broad biblical arc from crucifixion and resurrection to Pentecost and final hope. The title phrase affirms that the good news of Christ is sufficient, while the outro dwells on mercy, grace, compassion, and kindness as gifts flowing from his sacrifice.
