Story Behind The Song
My late brother had originally written the lyrics with the concept of thanking god, however I re-wrote the lyrics and added more of a serious tone with the words and music.

Lyrics
PAINT OUR LIVES
Thank you Lord for letting us be here
Day and night you are always near
Sharing your blue skies so high above
For giving us your gift of salvation
If we try all of us can win
If we ask you'll teach us how to give
And spend our time the best way that we can
And spread our love across every land
HOLY LORD PAINT OUR LIVES
WITH LOVE AND GRACE
THROUGH OUR HEARTS AND OUR MINDS
GIVE US TRUE FAITH TO FIND
BOTH RICH AND POOR THE WEAK AND THE BLIND
Thinking about the blessings you have shown
All the gifts and happiness we have known
In this life there is so little time
So we should thank you each day of our lives
Thinking how this great earth began
How you draw us to your master plan
And about the day when you'll return again
To test the works of every women and every man
REPEAT CHORUS
