Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I don't have to know you
To know that you will go through hard times
It's just part of life
Don't let that moment blind you
And don't let it define you
Take heart, that's not who you are
Our God is able, more than capable
To be faithful to the end
He'll finish what He started
No matter what you've done
Grace comes like a flood
There's hope to carry on
He'll finish what He started
No matter what you face
His mercy will not change
He's with you all the way
He'll finish what He started
Remember you're forgiven
So there's no need to give in
To the lie that you're disqualified
Our God is able, more than capable
To be faithful to the end
He'll finish what He started
No matter what you've done
Grace comes like a flood
There's hope to carry on
He'll finish what He started
No matter what you face
His mercy will not change
He's with you all the way
He'll finish what He started
This work He started in you now
He's faithful to complete it
The promise was sealed when He cried out
It is finished
He'll finish what He started
No matter what you've done
Grace comes like a flood
There's hope to carry on
He'll finish what He started
No matter what you face
His mercy will not change
He's with you all the way
He'll finish what He started
He'll finish what He started
