(Bm)Heart break’s a (G)bit ter sound.

(D)Know it well; it’s ring ing in my (F#m)ears, and I can’t un der stand (Bm)why I’m not (G)fixed by now.

(D)Begged, and I have plead ed, “Take this (F#m)pain,” but I’m still bleed ing.

(Bm)Heart trusts You for cer tain, (D)head says it’s not work ing.

(Bm)I’m stuck here, still hurt ing, but You tell me

You’re mak ing a mas

ter piece.

You’re shap ing the soul

in me.

You’re mov ing where I

can’t see, and all I am is in Your hands.

You’re tak ing me all

a part, like it was Your plan from the start, to fin ish Your work

of art for all to see.

You’re mak ing a mas

ter piece.

(Bm)Guess I’m Your (G)can vas,

(D)beau ti ful, black and blue, (F#m)paint ed in mer cy’s hue.

(Bm)I don’t see (G)past this, but You see me (Dmaj7)now, who I’ll be then, there at the (A)end, stand ing there as

Your mas

ter piece.

You’re mak ing a mas

ter piece.

(Bm)Heart trusts You for cer tain, (D)head says it’s not work ing.

You’re mak ing a mas

ter piece.

You’re shap ing the soul

in me.

You’re mov ing where I

can’t (A)see, and all I am is in Your hands.

You’re tak ing me all

a part, like it was Your plan from the start, to fin ish Your work

of art for all to see.

You’re mak ing a mas

ter piece.

You’re mak ing a mas

ter piece.

I’ll be Your mas ter piece.
