Empty canvas waits before the Painter, waits to be the painting it must be.  Unto this end it has rightly been created to reflect rightly what the Painter sees.  

A beauty that will surely find its life within its dying so another might be born again.  

And in this constant death a constant beauty is created within a constant love that never ends. 

Jesus is the Master Painter.  

And the Holy Spirit is the Master’s brush 

to be dipped within the colors that portray the Father’s love,

 that the canvas of our life might know the Master’s touch, 

to portray the beauty of the Master’s brush.  

So an empty canvas waits before the Painter, 

empty canvas destined to be hung within the gallery once it has been created.  

Will the canvas bear the beauty of the Son?” 

 (“Empty Canvas”, song lyrics by John Michael Talbot and Terry Talbot)
