His father gave him the last word. And, to be clear, the second to last. In which He first prayed forgiveness For those who knew no better. And, once he knew his job was done, Once he knew his sacrifice was complete, He drew a line, settling the matter Once and for all And moved on: It is finished.

The Last Word
His father gave him the last word. And, to be clear, the second to last. In which He first prayed forgiveness For those who knew no better. And, once he knew his job was done, Once he knew his sacrifice was complete, He drew a line, settling the matter Once and for all And moved on: It is finished.
It's an Easter thing.
