Painting Am I By the Sovereign Artist
The Almighty Creator has me in His wondrous plan
even before the foundation of the world
one among His blessed masterpieces
to bear His divine craftsmanship.
The Perfect Painter presents me to surpass human nature’s premier coup
in His mind’s canvas, quickened for worship with body, soul, and spirit
since I have tripartite being according to His image and likeness
reflecting the LORD as Trinity: Father, Son, Holy Ghost.
The Supreme Designer keeps on fashioning me in love’s workmanship*
by His kindness-modelling---concrete, showing no abstraction
as pattern of good works along stewardship’s color wheel
midst Christ’s grace-palette and strength-easel.
The Beauty-Master enhances my glow through pleasant reality-blendings
midst gesturalism and silhouette engagements of reaching-out collage
around my life-building pursuits of mixed media granulations
producing tenebrism that exalts the Saviour.
The Sovereign Artist transforms me to become a precious portrait-legacy
for worthy exhibit of faith champions in various servanthood genre
along polishing, brushing, etching, pressing, scraping encounters
showcasing the magnificence of God’s mercy and miracles.
*Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
