I see an empty canvas, only botches of sorrow and pain,
I see sickness and death, anguish and suffering,
People in loneliness, in depression, sinking into depths of self-pity,
Broken homes, lost jobs, and helpless children,
Everything seems black, everything seems dark.
Panic has gripped us and is almost governing our lives,
A virus has masked us and is causing us to hide,
Could you please paint our world again?
I also see your beautiful universe, the blue sky, the beautiful ocean,
The white lilies of the field, the gorgeous red roses in the valley,
The planets, the galaxies, and the heavenly bodies,
The greenery all around, the chirping birds, and the dancing peacocks,
Perfect imagery of an amazing canvas of life and brightness and color,
Lord if only we invited you earlier into our world,
If only we asked the God of the universe to take control of our world,
If only we didn’t keep you out of our lives,
Our homes, our schools, our churches,
If we didn't leave you there knocking at the door,
Our canvas would also have been perfect dear Lord, definitely perfect!
Forgive us Lord and visit us we pray,
Could you please paint our world again?
