The Artist
An artist painted a picture
It was so beautiful to see
Then he told me that this picture
Was a replica of me
He said don't think about tomorrow
Just live for today
Right here in this picture
I'll show you the way
The colors were so vivid
The image was so clear
Sit back, relax, enjoy the view
The end's not drawing near
And do just what you want to
For you are number one
Eat, drink, and be merry
'Cause life's for having fun
Oh he's the great deceiver
He's the angel of light
The master of illusion
Who can pass death off as life
He'll rob you of your vision
Keep you blinded so you cannot see
That he's the great deceiver for all eternity
If you have been a victim
Of this master plan
There's a balm in Gilead
For every fallen man
Jesus is the answer
For all eternity
And he'll paint you a picture
Of reality
Oh he's the great restorer
He's the bright and morning star
The master of the universe
Who reaches down right where you are
His light can pierce the darkest night
Touch a heart that's stony cold
He's the great restorer
He's the lover of your soul
It was so beautiful to see
Then he told me that this picture
Was a replica of me
He said don't think about tomorrow
Just live for today
Right here in this picture
I'll show you the way
The colors were so vivid
The image was so clear
Sit back, relax, enjoy the view
The end's not drawing near
And do just what you want to
For you are number one
Eat, drink, and be merry
'Cause life's for having fun
Oh he's the great deceiver
He's the angel of light
The master of illusion
Who can pass death off as life
He'll rob you of your vision
Keep you blinded so you cannot see
That he's the great deceiver for all eternity
If you have been a victim
Of this master plan
There's a balm in Gilead
For every fallen man
Jesus is the answer
For all eternity
And he'll paint you a picture
Of reality
Oh he's the great restorer
He's the bright and morning star
The master of the universe
Who reaches down right where you are
His light can pierce the darkest night
Touch a heart that's stony cold
He's the great restorer
He's the lover of your soul
