The Painter's hand is firm and never falters
As He shapes the living portrait of my soul
There is wisdom in each line He smooths and alters
Where I see unfinished canvas, there the Painter sees the whole
He knows the strength that grows in shadow
When I'm reaching for the light
He sees the majesty and glory
beyond my mortal sight
And though I may not understand
The artistry of heaven's plan
I will trust the Painter's hand unceasingly
He will make a masterpiece of me
The Painter's hand is gentle as He renders
Every stroke of living color patiently
In shades of darkest night or brightest splendor
He reveals His grand design, and shows me what I'm meant to be
He knows the strength that grows in shadow
When I'm reaching for the light
He sees the majesty and glory
beyond my mortal sight
And though I may not understand
The artistry of heaven's plan
I will trust the Painter's hand unceasingly
He will make a masterpiece of me
And when I come before Him, kneeling at His feet
I marvel at His love for one so small and incomplete
Then His Spirit whispers peace to me
Restores my soul and teaches me
The wonder of my provenance and worth
He knows the strength that grows in shadow
When I'm reaching for the light
He sees the majesty and glory
beyond my mortal sight
And though I may not understand
The artistry of heaven's plan
I will trust the Painter's hand unceasingly
He will make a masterpiece of me
