Bless the day this restoration is complete
Dirty, dusty, something must be underneath
So I scrape and I scuff
Though it's never quite enough
I am starting to see me, finally

A gallery of paintings new and paintings old
Guess it's no surprise that I'm no Michelangelo
Every layer of mine
Hides a lovely design
It might take a little patience
It might take a little time

But You called me beautiful
When You saw my shame
And You placed me on the wall
Anyway

You, who have begun this work, will someday see
A portrait of the holiness You meant for me
So I polish and shine
Till it's easier to find
Even an outline of mine

But You called me beautiful
When You saw my shame
And You placed me on the wall
Anyway
~Nichole Nordeman
