Philippians 1:6 (NIV) – “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” This verse perfectly captures the song’s essence: God initiates the work of faith in our lives and faithfully brings it to full completion, just as we declare starting and ending our journey with Him.
