There was war between the goodness of Jesus and the evil one.
But, Jesus endured all things for us. It is finished. It is done.

He fasted forty days and nights, Satan tempting Him with things.
But, Jesus said not to tempt the Lord God, lest evil it brings.

He is the Son of God. He was here for our souls to save.
But, Satan was fighting to the end, Til all were in their grave.

I'm so glad I had Jesus on my side. Truth and goodness won.
It is finished. We shall go now to the Father, through the Son.

All who believe in His Holy Name and accept, with the mouth and heart,
This Son of the Father will never from your side part.

He said it was finished as He gave up the ghost, on that old hill;
Just as it will be finished for us, if we go to the Father, through the Son, His will.

He was on the old cross, upon a hill that day, praying - possibly again.
I do so thank Him. As He said, "It is finished, He paid for my sin."

I can, now, safely go through life; knowing I am hid in He,
Who said, "It is finished," when, on that old Cross-, He died for me.

While He was in the world, all, the, Father gave Him, He did keep.
None lost but Satan. Jesus was safely keeping His sheep.

He was the Blessed Shepherd, going against the mighty foe;
even, to the bottomless pit, for it to be finished, our Lord did go.
