Thoughts and Quotes of a Curious Mind

Standing in your ruins, feels a lot like the end So used to losing, you're afraid to try again Right now all you see are ashes Where there was a flame The truth is that you're not forgotten 'Cause Grace knows your name God's not done with you Even with your broken heart and your wounds and your scars God's not done with you Even when you're lost and it's hard and you're falling apart God's not done with you It's not over, it's only begun So don't hide, don't run 'Cause God's not done with you There's a light you don't notice Until you're standing in the dark And there's a strength that's growing Inside your shattered heart He's got a plan, this is part of it He's gonna finish what He started He's got a plan, this is part of it He's gonna finish what He started He's not done God's not done writing your story No, He's not done God's not done with you!
