The Painter Lyrics

You are the Painter

I'm one of a billion shades of blue

How blessed am I to be painted here by You

You put me in the morning sky

You placed me in the lover's eyes

You set me in reflections in a shining drop of dew

How blessed am I to be painted here by You

You are the Painter

I'm just a silly shade of brown

But You placed me on the mountain top

And You put me in the ground

I'm in the feathers of the hawk

The storm tossed boat tied to a dock

You stirred me in the warm broth

Of a homeless woman's stew

How blessed am I to be painted here by You

How grand You've made Your palette

How glorious the hues

A sky as far as we can see

Distant mountain's majesty

The forests and the rolling seas

The flowers, the birds, the silver thorns and me

Oh, the more I see the more I believe it's true

How blessed are we to be painted here by You

You are the Painter

I'm an unnamed shade of red

But You set me in the sunrise

And in the warm fire by the bed

I'm in the blood that trickles

From the crown upon Your head

What words could I have said? What can I do?

To show I know I'm blessed

Being painted here by You

You are the Painter

I'm one of a billion shades of blue
