This is how is it originally played but I usually transpose it down 1 and 1/2
steps and capo 3 to play it. It is easier to play.
C C7 F
There's a line that's been drawn through the Ages
C C7 G
On that line stood an old rugged cross
C C7 F C G C
On that cross a battle was raging, For the gain of man's soul or it's loss.
C7 F C C7 G
The Earth shakes with the force of the conflict, The Sun refuses to shine
C C7 F
For there hangs God's Son in the balance,
C G C
And then thru the darkness He cries
[CHORUS]
C7 F
It is Finished, the battle is over
C C7 G
It is Finished, there'll be no more war
F C
It is Finished, the end of the conflict
G C
It is Finished, and Jesus is Lord.
C7 F C C7 G
In my heart the battle was raging, Not all prisoners of war had come home.
C7 F
There were battle fields of my own making
C G C
I did not know that the war had been won.
C7 F
And then I heard that the King of all Ages,
C C7 G
Had fought all the battles for me.
C C7 F
And victory was mine for the claiming,
C G C
And now praise His Name I am free.
(to CHORUS)
