A Picture Of Grace

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
