I love this song for two reasons:
Firstly, it is beautifully composed and sung.
Secondly, the rich lyrics speak of the hope of those who place their faith in Christ.
It doesn’t matter what this life throws at us, as we have an eternal glory to look forward to. All those sins that once separated us from God have now been crucified with Christ, and no longer exist. I can walk unashamedly into the presence of the almighty God without guilt, as I am now clothed with the righteousness of Christ, and not my own!

Lyrics:
Verse 1
How I love the voice of Jesus
On the Cross of Calvary
He declares his work is finished
He has spoken this hope to me
Though the sun had ceased its shining
– Though the war appeared as lost
Christ had triumphed over evil
It was finished upon that Cross
Verse 2
Now the curse it has been broken
Jesus paid the price for me
Full, the pardon he has offered
Great, the welcome that I receive
Boldly I approach my Father
– Clothed in Jesus’ righteousness
There is no more guilt to carry
It was finished upon that Cross
Verse 3
Death was once my great opponent
Fear once had a hold on me
But the Son who died to save us
Rose that we would be free indeed!
[Repeat]
Death was once my great opponent
Fear once had a hold on me
But the Son who died to save us
Rose that we would be free indeed!
YES He Rose that we would be free indeed!
3B(1)
Free from every plan of darkness
– Free to live and free to love
Death is dead and Christ is risen!
It was finished upon that Cross
3B(2)
Onward to eternal glory
– To my Saviour and my God
I rejoice in Jesus’ victory
It was finished upon that Cross
