A Blank Canvas for God
[Intro: original instrumental Holler motif] [Verse 1: Bubba, mature male] I drew a map of every morning Picked the turns and chose the view Then wondered why my hands were shaking When the road did something new [Chorus: Bubba male; Darlene female harmony] A blank canvas for You, Lord An open door, an honest word I don't need to hold the brush so tight Or paint tomorrow in the dark tonight Where my plans and mercy meet Leave a little room for peace [Verse 2: Darlene, female lead] I know I need to make decisions And work the fields in front of me But when a road bends past my knowing Help me walk with open hands and see [Bridge: duet] I can give my fullest effort And still loosen what I hold May my will be shaped by kindness [Final Chorus: full Holler Shakers] A blank canvas for You, Lord An open door, an honest word I don't need to hold the brush so tight Or paint tomorrow in the dark tonight Where my plans and mercy meet Leave a little room for peace [Outro: held resolved chord, no abrupt cutoff]
