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      And the sea is bathed in beauty and glory   Transformed by love's sweet embrace   The hands of the Savior, erased all my sorrow   And painted this picture of grace      How skillful the hands of the artist   Who painted this picture of me   He saw with the eyes of a master   How beautiful my life could be      Where once was a portrait of gloom and despair   This masterpiece hangs in it's place   It's signed with his blood and it's framed with his glory   This beautiful picture of grace      The ashes and ruin   That once filled the picture   Had vanished and faded from view   And beautiful touches of mercy adorned   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 my past   And painted this picture of grace      How skillful the hands of the artist   Who painted this picture of me   He saw with the eye's of a master   How beautiful my life could be      Where once was a portrait of gloom and despair   This masterpiece hangs in it's place   It's signed with his blood and it's framed with his glory   This beautiful picture of grace      Where once was a portrait of gloom and despair   This masterpiece hangs in it's place   It's signed with his blood and it's framed with his glory   This beautiful picture of grace   This beautiful picture of grace
