The Glorious Unfolding cover
05. Finish What He Started
Album: The Glorious Unfolding
Artist: Steven Curtis Chapman
         
 

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

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

I know that God will finish what He’s begun


PIANO, ELECTRIC GTR - Steven Curtis Chapman / DRUMS - Will Franklin Chapman / PROGRAMMING, BARITONE - Joe Causey / PROGRAMMING, PERC, SYNTH BASS, ELECTRIC GTR - Brent Milligan / BGVS - Steven Curtis Chapman
