Painting Me Beautiful

Another break echoes through
My being
I brush it over with happy colors
Before anyone sees
I've painted my surface
With pictures of perfect
But a thousand cracks run just underneath
I feel them now, close to
Splitting me apart
I keep painting over and over
But it bleeds through and just
Turns me dark

You whisper I was never meant
To play the artist's part
You reach for me, gently
holding out Your arms

And You take the paintbrush
Just as I let go
Just as I let go
You paint Yourself in the depths of my soul
Taking my broken and
Painting me beautiful

And I want to be clean before I dare
Approach the throne of grace
I don't want You to see me
When I look this way
But You say
"I did not create you to feel shame
And I want you most at your most broken
But it's not where I want you to stay

And You take the paintbrush
Just as I let go
Just as I let go
You paint Yourself in the depths of my soul
Taking my broken and
Painting me beautiful

And the hands that are painting me
Have a hole running deep through each
Jesus, help me
Help me let all of it go
Take my broken and make me whole
Paint me beautiful
So I can make you known
Take all of who we are
Paint us, let us know
There is no too far gone
There is no too broke
You're making us beautiful
Taking what's broken
And painting us
Making us beautiful
