Kristian Stanfill - What He's Done Lyrics
Lyrics
See on the hill of Calvary
My Savior bled for me
My Jesus set me free
Look at the wounds that give me life
Grace flowing from His side
No greater sacrifice
What He's Done
What He's Done
All the glory and the honor to the Son
My sins are forgiven
My future is Heaven
I praise God for what He's done
Sing! For the freedom He has won
Even death is dead and done
His life has overcome
Speak! Say the Name above all names
Over every broken place
He is risen from the grave!
What He's Done
What He's Done
All the glory and the honor to the Son
My sins are forgiven
My future is Heaven
I praise God for what He's done
Now on a throne of majesty
The Father's will complete
He reigns in victory
Sing! Hallelujah to the King
He is worthy to receive
All the worship we can bring
What He's Done
What He's Done
All the glory and the honor to the Son
My sins are forgiven
My future is Heaven
I praise God for what He's done
What He's Done
What He's Done
All the glory and the honor to the Son
My sins are forgiven
My future is Heaven
I praise God for what He's done
I praise God for what He's done

Passion - What He’s Done (ft. Kristian Stanfill, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Anna Golden) [Live]
Meaning & Inspiration
"What He's Done," a powerful anthem featuring Kristian Stanfill, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, and Anna Golden, emerged on January 26, 2022, as part of Passion's live recordings, immediately resonating with its profound theological message. The song is a direct testament to the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, meticulously unpacking the narrative of salvation through His sacrifice and resurrection. At its core, "What He's Done" centers on the unfathomable grace poured out on the cross of Calvary. The lyrics vividly paint a picture of Christ's suffering, emphasizing that His wounds are not symbols of defeat but the very source of life and freedom for believers. This imagery directly echoes the scriptural accounts of Jesus' crucifixion, where from His pierced side, blood and water flowed (John 19:34), symbolizing purification and life. The song powerfully declares the forgiveness of sins and the assurance of eternal life in Heaven, directly aligning with the promise of salvation found in passages like Ephesians 1:7, "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace." The repeated refrain, "What He's Done, What He's Done," serves as a constant reminder and exaltation of Christ's completed work, attributing "all the glory and the honor to the Son," a sentiment deeply rooted in the Old Testament prophetic declarations and New Testament acclamations of Christ's divine nature and authority.
The lyrical narrative then shifts to the triumph over death itself, proclaiming, "Even death is dead and done," a bold assertion that directly references the Apostle Paul's declaration in 1 Corinthians 15:55, "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" This victory is inextricably linked to Christ's resurrection, "He is risen from the grave!" This pivotal event is the bedrock of Christian faith, offering hope and proof of His power over sin and mortality, as detailed in Romans 1:4, "and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord." The song encourages a response of joyous singing and spoken testimony, urging listeners to "Speak! Say the Name above all names," referring to the supreme authority of Jesus, whose name is exalted above all others (Philippians 2:9-11). The verses speak of healing over brokenness, a direct reflection of Christ's ministry to the afflicted and His ongoing work of restoration in the lives of those who follow Him. The triumphant return to the chorus reiterates the magnitude of His finished work, setting the stage for the final verses which point to Christ's present reign. Seated on "a throne of majesty," the song illustrates Christ fulfilling the Father's perfect will and reigning in eternal victory, as described in Revelation 19:16, where He is called "King of Kings and Lord of Lords." The climactic invitation to sing "Hallelujah to the King" and offer worship underscores the believer's rightful response to Christ's worthiness, as expressed in Revelation 5:12, "Saying in a loud voice: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!’" "What He's Done" is more than a song; it is a comprehensive declaration of the gospel, a powerful and inspiring reminder of the transformative power of Jesus' sacrifice and the eternal hope it secures.
