HE’S NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET

Lyrics by Stan C. Countz

INTRO
My life was a sham; my tears ran like water
Like an innocent lamb led to the slaughter
I needed someone who would love me
Not try to push and shove me
Someone who would love me just as I am

You know just where I stand
No need to wonder or guess
It may be hard to understand
I see myself as truly blessed
Nothin’ more and nothin’ less

CHORUS
Don’t think it strange or odd
What you see may not be what you get
I am who I am but, thank God
He’s not finished with me yet

I won’t be puttin’ on the Ritz
Even if you try to call it quits
Throw tantrums or hissy fits
My love won’t change a bit

I may be poor or filthy rich
Shop at the Dollar store
or Abercrombie and Fitch
Or I may not wear a stitch
But I’d rather fight than switch
My love won’t change a bit

CHORUS
Don’t think it strange or odd
What you see may not be what you get
I am who I am but, thank God
He’s not finished with me yet

You may be a brain surgeon; you may be diggin’ a ditch
You may be a sweet young virgin or a brigand or a witch
But what you see may not be what you get
‘Cuz He ain’t finished with me yet

Just because the shoe fits don’t mean we have to wear it
Grace is something we don’t deserve and can never merit
Why should we read His word if we never share it
Sometimes we just gotta grin and bear it

I may sing like an angel or be way off pitch
I may be single or I may be hitched
No matter how I scratch my itch
But what you see may not be what you get
It’s easy to forget; no need to be too upset
‘Cuz He ain’t finished with me yet

It’s a battle of wits and it’s no joke
Even if my dreams go up in smoke
Even if it seems I’ve lost my hope
I’ll count the cost and try to cope
Cuz I know…He ain’t finished with me yet

BRIDGE
So keep the main thing the main thing
May I be so bold as to hum or to sing?
You’re never too old or young to dream
But it’s never as easy as it seems

So keep your feet on solid ground
And keep your eye on your goal
You were lost but now you’re found
He saved you and made you whole

If you fan the flame, your fire will never grow cold
Get up off your seat and put your feet on the rock
The rock that doesn’t roll and He’ll save your soul
Or you’ll spend a lifetime dodgin’ the devil’s toll

I’d like to try to hit it right out of the park
I’d like to believe I will leave my mark
I’m not just whistlin’ in the dark
I’m lookin’ for a brand, new start

It’s more than circumstance
I’d like to have this dance
I may not have a chance
but at least I have a heart

OUTRO/CHORUS
You know right where I stand
No need to wonder or guess
I may need a helping hand
Nothin’ more and nothin’ less

Don’t think it strange or odd
What you see may not be what you get
I am who I am, but, thank God
He’s not finished with me yet
