CHORUS
What You began You will finish
By Your strong hand I will prevail
Every trial You work in it
And Your faithfulness can’t fail
Though I do not claim to understand
The mysteries of Your sovereign plan
I know the good work You began
You will finish
VERSE 1
You are the One who works
in ways I cannot grasp
You are the One who knows
My prayers before I ask
Why should I doubt You
When without You I’d be lost
When I am tossed on the sea
You bring me back to the land
And what You began
VERSE 2
You are the One who will work
All things for my good
You are the One who guards
My path before I look
Why should I try to walk
By sight and not by faith
Lord give me the grace to have
A childlike trust in Your plan
And what You began
What You began You will finish
By Your strong hand I will prevail
Every trial You work in it
And Your faithfulness can’t fail
Though I do not claim to understand
The mysteries of Your sovereign plan
I know the good work You began
You will finish
VERSE 1
You are the One who works
in ways I cannot grasp
You are the One who knows
My prayers before I ask
Why should I doubt You
When without You I’d be lost
When I am tossed on the sea
You bring me back to the land
And what You began
VERSE 2
You are the One who will work
All things for my good
You are the One who guards
My path before I look
Why should I try to walk
By sight and not by faith
Lord give me the grace to have
A childlike trust in Your plan
And what You began
