My life is like a canvas
And on most days I do my best
To fill it in with my mess
Til’ Your image can’t be seen
How I love self-centered sketches
Painting my ways to the edges
But I think what I like best is
How it looks so much like me
No more now
I’m laying my colors down
(Chorus)
I am coming clean
I am offering
Every space in me for you to fill
And I am coming clean
I am promising
If You’ll write on me Your perfect will
Then I’ll be a blank page
Maybe my life’s like a story
That was written for Your glory
But I guess I found that boring
So I took Your pen in hand
And I scribbled You a bit part
And I made myself the big star
But replacing You proves too hard
Guess I don’t know how it ends
No more now
I’m laying my best plans down
My story fades away
Just some words to encourage you…
My life is like a canvas
And on most days I do my best
To fill it in with my mess
Til’ Your image can’t be seen
How I love self-centered sketches
Painting my ways to the edges
But I think what I like best is
How it looks so much like me
No more now
I’m laying my colors down
(Chorus)
I am coming clean
I am offering
Every space in me for you to fill
And I am coming clean
I am promising
If You’ll write on me Your perfect will
Then I’ll be a blank page
Maybe my life’s like a story
That was written for Your glory
But I guess I found that boring
So I took Your pen in hand
And I scribbled You a bit part
And I made myself the big star
But replacing You proves too hard
Guess I don’t know how it ends
No more now
I’m laying my best plans down
My story fades away
(Chorus)
