Lyrics Steven Curtis Chapman

Steven Curtis Chapman

Finish What He Started

You take two steps forward and three steps back

On a journey of a thousand miles

And you cry and you pray

But you know at this pace you never will arrive

Well I know in your heart you believed from the start

God had a purpose He knit you together for

But life has pulled at the seams

And you're unraveling

And you can't hold it together anymore

But God will, He will finish what He started

No thread will be left unwoven

Nothing will be left undone

Every plan and every purpose

That He has will be accomplished

And God will finish what He's begun

And it may feel like 40 long days in a hard driving rain

Or 40 years in a dry desert sand

But when He's finished we will SEE

A beautiful tapestry

And know that nothing has been wasted in the end

Oh, and God will, He will finish what He started

No thread will be unwoven

Nothing will be left undone

Every plan and every purpose

That He has will be accomplished

And God will finish what He's begun

And we'll stand as the ones completed

By the miracle of His love

We'll sing of His goodness and sing to His glory

As we tell the story of how

God has, He has finished what He'sstarted

Not a thread will be unwoven

And nothing will be left undone

Every plan and every purpose

That He has will be accomplished

And God will finish what He's begun

I know that God will finish what He's begun
