E D A
Picture a man with no reason for living
D E A
With no hope of smiling again
E D A
Imagine a world with no golden daybreak
D E
En closed by the blackness of sin
A
And the scene is bathed in beauty and glory
E F#m
Transformed by love's sweet embrace
D A F#m
The hands of the Savior, erased all my sorrow
Bm G Bm E
And painted this picture of grace
A D E A
Hows skillful the hands of the artist
D E A
Who painted this picture of me
D E F#m
He saw with the eyes of a master
B E
How beautiful my life could be
[Chorus 1]
C# F#m A
Where once was a portrait of gloom and despair
D C#
This masterpiece hangs in it's place
F#m C# A B
It's signed with his blood and it's framed with his glory
Bm E G D A
This beautiful picture of grace
[Verse 2]
E D A
The ashes and ruin that once filled the picture
D E A
Had vanished and faded from view
E D A
And beautiful touches of mercy adorned
D E
This picture he painted anew
A
Such peace filled the eyes of the man he created
E F#m
A smile gently rests on his face
D A F#m
Since Jesus erased all the guilt of my past
Bm G Bm E
And painted this picture of grace
A D E A
Hows skillful the hands of the artist
D E A
Who painted this picture of me
D E F#m
He saw with the eyes of a master
B E
How beautiful my life could be
[Chorus 2]
C# F#m A
Where once was a portrait of gloom and despair
D C#
This masterpiece hangs in it's place
F#m C# A B
It's signed with his blood and it's framed with his glory
Bm E G D A
//This beautiful picture of grace//
