Hand-painted Seasons
© 2002, Tina L. Curtis
With His canvas set,
The paint set on a stand:
He picked up His brush
With His nail-scarred hand.The paint on His palette
Lay lifeless and dull,
But with the Master's touch
Became the colors of fall.Green, gold, yellow, brown,
The colors of my life.
Then He added crimson red
Ending all my strife.My heart is now entwined in His,
As the colors turn.
Jesus changes life from within
As I grow and learn.Bright yellow hope;
Pink heart of love;
Bluebird of joy;
Spirit as a white dove.All these He gave to us
When His blood was shed.
The canvas of my life is now
Covered in crimson red.
