It Is Finished (Not Started)

[Verse 1]

Everybody talking 'bout the journey, the grind

Like identity's a mountain that you climb over time

But check the record, check what He actually said

It is finished, past tense, that's what He said

Not started, not in progress, not almost complete

Finished on the cross, victory, no defeat

I'm not becoming, I'm not on my way to be

I'm already who I am 'cause the work's already free

[]Chorus]

It is finished, not started ; finished

It is finished, not in progress ; finished

The work is already done

Identity already won

It is finished, not started

Already who I am

[Verse 2]

Grace ain't a goal I'm chasing down the road

Grace is the finished work, that's the whole episode

Not "try harder," not "do better," not "earn your place"

It is finished means I'm already covered by grace

Dutoit said the mirror shows what's already true

Not a future hope, but a present breakthrough

So when the grind gets heavy, when the pressure's on

I remember it's finished, the victory's already won

[Chorus]

It is finished, not started, that's right

It is finished, not in progress, already

The work is already done

Identity already won

It is finished, not started

Already who I am

[Bridge]

Stop trying to finish what's already done

Stop trying to win a battle already won

The cross said it all, the cross said enough

It is finished, that's the good stuff

[Final Chorus]

It is finished, not started ; finished, finished!

It is finished, not in progress, already!

The work is already done

Identity already won

It is finished, not started

Already who I am ; already who I am!...

[Coda]

Finished, not started...

Already, already...

It is finished...
