A Great Work

(album: A Great Work - 2018)

Sometimes there are obstacles in the road
That can leave you feeling low
And you don't know how to move forward
And sometimes there are turns you wanna take
But the way gets hard to trace
Now you're wondering how did you get here
But don't you give up
Until you see
How God is ordering your steps
So you can walk into your season

He that has begun
A great work in you
Is faithful to perform it
God is faithful to perform it
He that has begun
A great work in you
Is faithful to perform it
Our God is faithful

I declare
You will know the favor of the Lord
And receive a harvest for your seed
And in due time
God will blow your mind
With what He planted inside of you
To bless the world as it blooms

He that has begun
A great work in you
Is faithful to perform it
God is faithful to perform it
Oh he that has begun
A great work in you
Is faithful to perform it
God is faithful to perform it
So if you ever get discouraged
Speak to yourself and say

God is doing a great work
He's doing a great work
He's doing a great work
In me
God is doing a great work
He's doing a great work
He's doing a great work
In me

God is doing a great work
God is (A great work)
Doing (A great work)
A great work in me
God is doing a great work
He's doing a great work (A great work)
Doing a great work (A great work)
In me

God is doing a great work
Yes he is (A great work)
Looking beyond my faults (A great work)
Loving me into my future (In me)
God is doing a great work
Great work (A great work)
Oh he's doing a great work (A great work)
In me

He that has begun
A great work in you
Is faithful to perform it
God is faithful to perform it
You wanna encourage somebody (He that has begun)
Show your name (A great work in you)
He's faithful to perform it (He's faithful to perform it)
God is faithful to perform it (Faithful to perform it)
Yesterday, today and forever more
He's faithful (Is faithful to perform it)
Faithful and great (Faithful to perform it)
Great is his faithfulness
Great is his faithfulness

So what should be considered
As we proceed
Is that this work
Did not begin with you
Our mothers' mothers
And fathers' fathers
Planted seeds
When we were but the faint notion of a dream
In their mind
They hope for a harvest
A legacy, a great work
So may your next step forward
Help us to connect the dots and see
This picture of greatness
In fact I hear God say
That you are his workmanship
His masterpiece
Created for such a time as this
For great works
A great, great, great work
So go be great
Don't get discouraged
Go be great
Don't you get weary
Go be great
Keep marching for justice
Keep pressing toward the mark
In this wonderful world

Where our children laugh and pray
And dream
And see greatness
Exceeding abundantly
More than we can imagine
But let me assure you
That it's great
And our God is faithful
Yes Lord, yes You're great
Yes Lord
