When I was in elementary school - I remember sneaking into my super cool older sisters room to listen to her CD's. We shared the basement so her room was only one room away - but she was in high school so I always wanted to find things to help me be cool like her! There was one song that I always loved hearing - and often put on repeat! Over and over in my life since, these lyrics have popped into my head at different times - and each time they touch my heart in a special way! Maybe it is a message that I need to hear frequently! I thought about this song again today and really want to share it with you! (Sorry I don't know how to post the song - so the lyrics with have to do)
Masterpiece
(Julie de Azevedo/Greg Simpson)
Simple clay in the potter's hand
An empty page and an author's pen
An artist's brush to a canvas white
And a work of art comes to life
Marble raw but the sculptor sees
The masterpiece that lies beneath
Though rough and marred the Master's touch
Can change this life into His work of love
So everyday I pray
CHORUS
He'll write His will upon my heart
Mold my soul to His design
Adding color depth and light
And polishing until I shine shine shine
Oh my heart is in His hands
He's painting the life He'd have me lead
Through refining floods and flames
He's smoothing edges and the seems
And in time time time
Oh this simple life will be a Masterpiece
Snowy peaks watercolor skies
His works of beauty fill my eyes
But He sees nothing more beautiful
Than a heart submissive to His will
I want to know His will
So everyday I pray
He'll write His will upon my heart
Mold my soul to His design
Adding color depth and light
And polishing until I shine shine shine
Oh my heart is in His hands
He's painting the life He'd have me lead
Through refining floods and flames
He's smoothing edges and the seems
And in time time time
Oh this simple life will be a Masterpiece
I love this song because I often feel like a blank canvas or a rough piece of marble - but I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and that he wants to help me become a "masterpiece". I know that it is not going to happen overnight and that it is a life long process, but he is there with me every step of the way shining over and over. I hope that I can be more submissive to his will and know how to become the most beautiful masterpiece that I can be!
