In celebration of our Risen Savior this Easter weekend, I simply give you lyrics to the song: “It is Finished.” As you read and/or listen to them, reflect on the significance of Jesus taking on all of our sin, and in exchange giving to us his identity. In him we are free from the weight of shame and the trying to measure up because God sees his children only according to the identity secured for us through the perfect life of his son.

1. I am weary, worn out
Who will deliver me?
I am heavy, burdened
Who will deliver me?
Though I sink in guilt and shame: grace flows deeper
Though I run against your will: grace runs faster
Though I hide away from You: grace comes nearer
Spirit help me know:
It is finished, It is finished
No more running, no more hiding
Now my weary soul can rest
It is finished, It is finished
No more striving, no more taking
All in Christ I now possess
It is finished
2. I am failing, unable,
Who will deliver me?
I am fearful, faithless
Who will deliver me?
Bridge:
No condemnation
No guilty shame
No past to haunt me
None in Christ, None in Christ
Gone is my record
Gone my regrets
Gone is my failure
Gone in Christ, Gone in Christ
Found is my meaning
Found is my name
Found is my purpose
Found in Christ, Found in Christ
All of His dying
All of His life
All of His merit
All in Christ, all in Christ
