The Very Last Part
If on an open canvas one should paint a line or two
Could you without the others know exactly what they'll do
Could your imagination conjure up what they can see
Within their thoughts at that point are just simply mystery
Or is your own perception limited to what they've done
When all the perfect details come together to make one
Complete and perfect picture of what dwelt within their mind
Until they placed on canvas all the colors they could find
To illustrate what they planned for the rest of us to see
That drawing or that painting with its own complexity
Original in purpose as well as its own design
Created by the artist from the precincts of his mind
Well no we cannot see what's in another person's head
We cannot see that picture as their thoughts cannot be read
But as we watch their movement we can get some telling clues
By different paints and colors and the techniques that they use
But if they choose to leave out one small section 'til the end
Though we may see the balance all the rest will still depend
On how they choose to finish for in truth the last detail
Can hold the greatest meaning that the artist wants to tell
And so it is with Jesus Who has laid the story down
Who from before beginning when no sin on earth was found
Prepared that perfect canvas where salvation would be drawn
And painted for creation long before creation's dawn
And with each living chapter with each line He chose to share
Through each event in history that showed His Father's care
The picture had perfection for that moment and that time
But still lacked its completion like a partial untold rhyme
Until as scriptures tell us every last detail's complete
And all who have been faithful bow before our Saviour's feet
And say it all was worth it to see what the Master's done
When the last details are finished in the image of His Son
And we will have the privilege of being that last part
That stroke of God's pure genius that has made His Work of Art
That will be His forever placed within His Hall of Fame
Because we lived the victory that was found in Jesus' name
