lyrics

What is man
That you are mindful of him?
The son of man
That you care for him?
- Psalm 8:4

Defaced,
Once priceless,
A masterpiece
Now horror-ridden,
Sorrow-riven:
A masterpiece
Without a price
Now stained,
Defaced.

To begin with,
If we are worthless,
Then trivial is the Fall;
We would be
Trinkets broken –
To be tossed
Without a shrug

But we were Imago Dei,
Now defaced.
A masterpiece,
The very image of God.

To end with,
You will paint us worthy.
Once, with painful
Priceless blood.
The Fall
—To be reversed—
A new
Masterpiece
Must be broken
—To paint us worthy—
Sacrificed,
Crucified

Greater than the stars,
Greater than the sea,
Higher than the moon
and mountain ranges,
Are your thoughts of me

In my sin, you are still mindful...
Still mindful...
...Of me
