When Jesus hung upon the tree
His cry was loud and clear to see
"It is finished!" He did say
And with those words, He did slay
The power of sin and death that night
For He is the source of life and light
But some would say, "Not yet, it's true
For it's not finished until I say it's through"
Such arrogance, to think that we
Could make His work complete
Like telling a contractor, "Wait a minute, my friend
This building's not finished, until I say it's the end"
Or telling a composer, "Your symphony's not done
Until I give it my approval, and say it's won"
Such thoughts are foolish, don't you see
For when He said "It is finished!" it was meant to be
So let us trust in His great work
And the gift of salvation that we did not deserve
For He has finished it, once and for all
And by His grace, we stand tall
About Brandan Kraft
Brandan Kraft is a computer programmer from the Missouri Ozarks who has been writing about the sovereign grace of God since 1997. He started with a website called bornagain.net, built it into PristineGrace.org, and has published over two hundred articles, nearly sixty songs, and a growing catalog of podcasts from his living room in Ashland, Kentucky. All without permission from anyone.
He holds no seminary degree, no denominational endorsement, and no theological credentials. He has been writing software for the same employer since 1998. He thinks in systems and believes that the sharpest doctrine should produce the widest arms.
His systematic theology, A Thought in the Mind of God, derives every position from one sentence and applies it across every domain - from ontology to eschatology, from the nature of the human mind to the nature of heaven and hell. It is available at pristinegrace.org/mind.
Brandan lives in Ashland, Kentucky with his wife Angie and their son Cole. He plays trombone in the Marshall University Tri-State Brass Band and changes a diaper twice a day on a cat named OJ who was once paralyzed and whom nobody else wanted.
