Single releasing to radio as band returns to stage for summer festivals
On Friday, Grammy-nominated band Building 429 released a new single, “Not Finished Yet.”
A press release stated, “Continuing the band's tradition of delivering big songs with big emotion, the new song is a stirring, hopeful pop anthem about how, even when we stray far away, God is there, ready to draw us close to him.”
"Not Finished Yet' was written by Building 429 frontman Jason Roy along with Riley Friesen, who also produced the song.
“At a certain point in life, we all get a moment to take a cold, hard, unflinching look in the mirror and take stock of who we really are,” Roy shared. “On a good day, I know that I can see love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. The next day, if I’m honest, I might see the exact opposite. The truth is that the COVID pandemic gave us all a lot of time to look in the mirror and see the things that we wish we knew how to change. I realized that the beginning of freedom and hope was the moment I finally admitted I didn’t have it all together and I still needed Jesus to complete the work in me.”
A lyric video for “Not Finished Yet” also released and can be viewed below.
