I am a canvas
I'm stretched on a frame
I wait for the painter to come paint His character on me

Left to myself there is nothing to see
Wait for the painter to come paint His portrait on me
On me

I'm just a carrier for the painter's picture
Hoping He'll cover me till there's nothing left to see but His character

I am a canvas
My purpose is clear
To let the great artist display His masterpiece here

I smooth out my surface so I can be used
I hope I'm unnoticed so His painting is clear

I'm just a carrier for the painter's picture
I'm hoping he'll cover me till there's nothing left to see but His character

Oh and if I should try to show through
I would ruin what He's trying to do
So I surrender all that I am for His plan

I'm just a carrier for the painter's picture
I want Him to cover me till there's nothing left to see
I'm just a carrier for the painter's picture
I want him to cover me so He can be greater
Greater
