Intro: C
verse 1 (Bass vocals hum the chords; piano plays a static C note):
C
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
verse 2 (Piano starts playing chords):
F Am G C Am
Well I know in your heart you believed from the start
F G Am
God had a purpose He knit you together for
F Am G
But life has pulled at the seams
C Am
And you're unraveling
Dm7 C
And you can't hold it together anymore
F G Am
But God will, He will finish what He started
F G
No thread will be left unwoven
C Am
Nothing will be left undone
F G
Every plan and every purpose
C Am
That He has will be accomplished
Dm7 G F
And God will finish what He's begun
verse 3:
F Am G C Am
And it may feel like 40 long days in a hard driving rain
F G Am
Or 40 years in a dry desert sand
F Am G
But when He's finished we will SEE
C Am
A beautiful tapestry
Dm7 C
And know that nothing has been wasted in the end
(Chorus)
Bridge:
F Am
F Am
And we'll stand as the ones completed
Dm7
By the miracle of His love
Em7 F
We'll sing of His goodness and sing to His glory
Am G
As we tell the story of how
(Chorus)
I'm not sure about the outro, but it sounds like he's mostly playing an F chord.
