|
My life is like a canvas |
|
And on most days I do my best |
|
To fill it in with my mess |
|
Til' Your image can't be seen |
|
How I love self-centered sketches |
|
Painting my ways to the edges |
|
But I think what I like best is |
|
How it looks so much like me |
|
No more now |
|
I'm laying my colors down |
|
Til my picture fades away |
|
(chorus) |
|
I am coming clean |
|
I am offering |
|
Every space in me for You to fill |
|
And I am coming clean |
|
I am promising |
|
If You'll write on me Your perfect will |
|
Then I'll be a blank page |
|
maybe my life's like a story |
|
That was written for Your glory |
|
But I guess I found that boring |
|
So I took Your pen in hand |
|
And I scribbled You a bit part |
|
And I made myself the big star |
|
But replacing You proves too hard |
|
Guess I don't know how it ends |
|
No more now |
|
I'm laying my best plans down |
|
My story fades away |
|
(chorus) |
|
Make Your masterpiece |
|
Out of each day in me |
|
I beg You, beg you |
|
Where my plans have laid |
|
Come while Your better ways |
|
I beg You, beg You |
|
Lord I need You |
