Work of Art

“Let me paint the colors of my love
Upon the canvas of Your Heart
Let me stir up the shades of passion
And make a worthy work of art

For every facet of Your Beauty
Has enraptured my affection
I am enthralled in Your vibrant Love
As I gaze on Your Reflection

Your Eyes reveal depths of ocean blue
Yet heights of mountains forest green
As I melt beneath Your tender gaze
I know that I am fully seen

Your Expression sparks a burning flame
Torrential rains of Fervent Love
Purifying all who dare to look
Yet Eyes more gentle than a Dove

Now enveloped by Your Golden Rays
My heart leaps in joyous rapture
With relentless colors of Your Love
My softened heart You have captured”

As my brush swirls new hues of worship
I linger on your perfect Face
How could my painting ever capture
This piercing Love that breaks all chains

My steady hands begin to falter
No more fixed on His Gentle Eye
Self-doubt creeps in as I look away
I bow my head and breathe a sigh

Many others could better express
With gifted hands and vibrant love
And give a more precious work of art
That You’re fully deserving of

Your once-nailed Hands now envelop mine 
Your Touch a warm and healing balm
Tears cascade as I observe a word—
My name engraved upon Your Palm

“My Dear do you not already know—
Your love is forever painted
Like a tattoo upon My Heart since
The moment We were acquainted 

Nothing you do will change what I see
A spotless bride, a baptized heart
Washed in blood and shining white
My Own priceless Work of Art.”
