My grandfather was a preacher and often would sing in church. Well the Easter that came the year he got sick...before he got so sick he had planned on Singing this song at the Mission they had just started come Easter Morning. Well the cancer took over and he was unable to sing that easter and so I got the tape player and the tape and the words and I practiced my little 11year old heart out trying to sing this song but I could not reach the notes. I was heart broken cause I wanted to sing my grandfathers song for him to his congregation since he could not cause I know He wanted too! So went to bed feeling so sad that night.
Well Easter came and we were at church for sunrise service and my grandfather was not there he was in VA hospital. My grandmother and I sat in the church and they asked if anyone wanted to sing a song and my little head went down and my grandma grabbed my hand for comfort and then this guy said he wanted to sing a song.
He got up there and he sang the song I wanted to sing for my grandfather! He sang the song my grandfather wanted to sing but was in hospital dying. He sang the song Jesus meant to be sung. So precious I cried!
The song was and is called "It is Finished"
One of the lyrics go... It is finished the battle is over..it is finished there be no more war...it is finished the end of the conflict...it is finished and Jesus is Lord!!
Such prophetic words I now see looking back! My grandfather died week later and my little world crumbled.
But Jesus was there through it all and always!
It Is Finished!!
