In the heat of the 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 watched 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" 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 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
I’ve seen Van Halen, BTO, Loverboy, Rick Springfield, Quarterflash, Stryper, Newsboys, D & K, Halo, Mercy Me, Third Day, Toby Mac, Casting Crowns, and David and the Giants in concert, as well as many others, including Petra, but not this tour. I have to say that there is no concert I wish I could have seen live more than this one!
This is Amazing.. and now he is 72 and still singing. So good! Check out his performance of 2022.
I had the pleasure of seeing Petra in Ft. Worth Texas on this tour, simply amazing. The greatest Christian rock band of all time..
I became a fan of Petra because of this song. I was in the 9th grade (1986-1987 school year.
In the heat of the 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 watched 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"
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
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
WISH I could have seen classic Petra live! GxV is my favorite rock singer.
