Music Monday -- A Masterpiece of Mercy
"A Masterpiece of Mercy" -- performed by the Booth Brothers
A Masterpiece of Mercy
He knew what I was when He made me.
He saw the sinner I’d become.
Yet He knew He had grace that could save me.
His latest work of art had just begun.
He started with an old dirty canvas.
My sin had left me tattered, bent, and marred.
Then this artist turned His light upon my sadness,
And began to wash away the blackest part.
When all the stains were gone He started painting
With colors that I’d never seen before.
Then with joy He was ready to display me,
To show the world what the Cross was for
A masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
When the master sees one hurting
And wipes the pain away.
The canvas of the artist
Becomes a holy place
For a masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace.
Now I’m getting ready for Heaven.
Every day just makes me want to go.
But the artist hasn’t stopped; He’s still painting,
And when He’s finished, He will take me Home.
A masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
When the master sees one hurting
And wipes the pain away.
The canvas of the artist
Becomes a holy place
For a masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace.
The canvas of the artist
Becomes a holy place
For a masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace.

I love this song! It is one of my favorites from the latest Booth Brothers album, Let It Be Known. It reminds me that no matter how messed up a person's life gets, Jesus can make that person into a masterpiece of mercy.
