THE SHADE OF FAITH

Paint me with colours the shade of faith,
Make me a picture true.

Let the canvas be tinted with trust,
Of every possible hue.

Prepare me a portrait of steadfast love,
Fashioned by God’s own hand.

Let the brush stroke my frame with belief,
That in God alone I stand.

Add in some pigment of suffering too,
To make the picture complete.

Cast the dye for the spectrum of hope,
To shelter me from defeat.

Paint me with colours the shade of faith,
Use only tones resolute.

Let it be a work of art,A masterpiece of thy Truth.
Stain the canvas with your own blood,

So cleansing and so royal.
Decorate each tint and shade,With friendship that is loyal.

Paint me with colours the shade of faith,
Prepare me to be unveiled,
To the One who gave unreservedly,
Twas for me He was pierced and nailed.

Paint me with colours the shade of faith,
An image of God’s own.

There in Heaven forever to hang,
Close to my God’s throne.
