The poem, The Eternal Cry of “It Is Finished” Proclaimed from the Throne of Sacred Triumph, vividly portrays the crucifixion moment from John 19:28-30. It depicts Jesus Christ as a triumphant, royal figure on the cross, described as a “throne of sacred wood.” The poem captures His fulfillment of scripture by declaring “I thirst,” receiving sour wine, and proclaiming “It is finished” as a majestic edict of victory over sin. The imagery emphasizes His divine authority, with the heavens darkening and earth quaking, culminating in His sacrifice and triumph. The cross is celebrated as a “royal crest” where love and glory unite, and Christ’s final cry resounds as an eternal testament to His sovereign reign and redemption. The tone is majestic, triumphant, and reverent throughout.

Upon the throne of sacred wood,
The King of kings in glory stood.
The heavens darkened, earth did quake,
As He the chains of sin did break.

“I thirst!” He spoke, His voice divine,
Fulfilling scrolls of holy line.
With hyssop raised, the wine they bore,
To touch the lips of Heaven’s door.

He tasted gall, the offering grand,
The scepter held in wounded hand.
The ancient words, now brought to reign,
Proclaimed His triumph over pain.

“It is finished!” thundered He,
The edict of eternity.
His head He bowed, His spirit soared,
The Sovereign Christ, forever Lord.

O cross of might, O royal crest,
Where love and glory manifest!
“It is finished!” rings the call,
The King has conquered, reigning all.
