A Masterpiece Of Mercy


My family and I went to a Southern Gospel concert in Monroe last Friday night. The Booth Brothers were one of the groups that performed. This is one of the songs they did. It is on their current cd, Let It Be Known. The lyrics describe a work of grace that the Lord has done in one that has been redeemed. Listen to it on the YouTube link. Thanks! I hope you like this! 

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.




He that winneth souls is wise . Proverbs 11:30
