MY TAPESTRY OF LOVE

MY LIFE IS LIKE A TAPESTRY WITH THREADS OF EVERY HUE
A FABRIC INTERWOVEN WITH CHRIST’S LOVE
SUCH TRUST WAS PLACED IN ME, TO CREATE THIS TAPESTRY
SO I WEAVE WITH CARE AS HE GUIDES FROM ABOVE

SOMETIMES THE COLORS SEEM TO BE SO DARK AND DULL AND GRAY
WILL THERE BE ANY BEAUTY WHEN I’M THROUGH?
IS THERE PURPOSE AND DESIGN, TO THIS TAPESTRY OF MINE?
OR AM I ALONE IN WHAT I’M CALLED TO DO?

I DO NOT KNOW THE PATTERN OR DESIGN OF WHAT I DO
NOR THE END OF THIS GREAT WORK THAT IS FOR ME.
STILL I WEAVE WITH CARE EACH DAY, EVERY COLOR ON MY WAY
AND TRUST HE’LL GUIDE WHAT ONLY HE CAN SEE
THIS MASTERPIECE OF LOVE, MY TAPESTRY

I WONDER WHAT THE OTHER SIDE WILL BE WHEN ITS COMPLETE,
WHEN I HAVE FINISHED WEAVING AND CAN SEE
THE SAVIOR’S GENTLE LOVE, IN THE VIEW FROM UP ABOVE.
WILL IT BE AS HE INTENDED IT TO BE?

WILL MY FABRIC BE OF USE TO THOSE WHO CROSS MY PATH OF LIFE?
WILL IT’S STRENGTH BE SUCH TO SERVE MY FELLOW MAN?
WILL I REALIZE IN TIME, THAT ITS PURPOSE WAS DIVINE?
WILL I SEE IN IT THE TOUCH OF THE MASTER’S HAND?
CHORUS
FATHER, CAN YOU HELP ME?
IF ONLY I COULD SEE IT FROM ABOVE.
FATHER, WILL YOU GUIDE MY HANDS,
AS I LABOR IN THIS MASTERPIECE OF LOVE?
CHORUS
