I was just a little kid when
I heard about you for the first time
And all I really, really knew for sure
Is you were God I wanted to know you
And now the years have come and gone
I’m still singing that same song
You might think by now I would have reached the end
But the truth is

I am only just beginning
I am only getting
Started to know you now
I’m only getting started
And when I start thinking I’m getting
Close to the end, you just smile at me and say
Hey kid, you ain’t seen nothing yet
I’m only getting started
I’m only getting started now

Now your love it is an ocean
Deeper than my deepest notion
Your grace it is the sky above
It just keeps going forever
And with every new sunrise
You come and open up my eyes
And show me just a little more of you
And again I see that

I am only just beginning
I am only getting
Started to know you now
I’m only getting started
And when I start thinking I’m getting
Close to the end, you just smile at me and say
Hey kid, you ain’t seen nothing yet
I’m only getting started

I am only just beginning
I am only getting
Started to know you now
I’m only getting started
And when I start thinking I’m getting
Close to the end, you just smile at me and say
Hey kid, you ain’t seen nothing yet
I’m only getting started
I’m only getting started now

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Starting to know you now
Getting started
And when I start thinking I’m getting
Close to the end, you just smile at me and say

Behind the Song:
'Even though I’ve written hundreds of songs about my faith and relationship with God, and made several records, for me, it’s so exciting about the kind of music I get to make and the themes I get to write about. I feel like it’s a bottomless well that I get to draw from. Here I am, you know, forty-one years old and feeling that I’m just getting started, just beginning to understand who God is, just beginning to really grasp His grace and His love, and just beginning to express that with my music and with my life.' - Steven Curtis Chapman
