A Picture Of Grace

22 Apr

Picture a man with no reason for living,
with no hope of smiling again.
Imagine a world with no golden daybreak
enclosed by the blackness of sin.
Then this scene is bathed in beauty and glory,
transformed by love’s sweet embrace.
The hands of the Saviour erased all
the sorrow and painted this picture of grace.

How skillful the hand of the artist
who painted this picture of me.
He saw with the eyes of the Master
how beautiful my life could be.
Where once was a portrait of gloom and despair
this mater piece hangs in its place.
It’s signed with His blood and
it’s framed with His glory,
this beautiful picture of grace.

The ashes and run that once filled the picture
have vanished and faded from view.
And beautiful torches of mercy adorn
This picture He painted anew.
Such peace filled the eyes of the man He created.
A smile gently rests on his face.
Since Jesus erased all the guilt of his past
And painted this picture of grace.

How skillful the hand of the artist
who painted this picture of me.
He saw with the eyes of the Master
how beautiful my life could be.
Where once was a portrait of gloom and despair
this mater piece hangs in its place.
It’s signed with His blood and
it’s framed with His glory,
this beautiful picture of grace.
