Lyrics The Old Rugged Cross - Guy Penrod

The Old Rugged Cross

There’s a line that is drawn through the ages
On line stands an old rugged cross
On that cross a battle is raging to gain a man’s soul or its loss
On one side marks the forces of evil
All the demons and all the devils of hell
On the other the angels of glory
And they meet on Golgotha’s hill
The earth shakes with the force of the conflict
And the sun refuses to shine
For there hangs God’s son in the balance
And then through the darkness he cries
It is finished, the battle is over
It is finished, there’ll be no more war
It is finished, the end of the conflict
It is finished and Jesus is Lord
Yet in my heart the battle was still raging
Not all prisoners of war had come home
These were battlefields of my own making
See, I didn’t know that the war had been won
But then I heard that the king of the ages had fought all the battles for me
And victory was mine for the claiming and now praise His name I am free
It is finished, the battle is over
It is finished, there’ll be no more war
It is finished, the end of the conflict
It is finished and Jesus is Lord
It is finished and Jesus is Lord
Jesus is Lord
