All the ups and downs
The tests and trials that I’ve been through
I wouldn’t change a thing [Pray for me, pray for me
‘Cause it led me straight to You
No matter how far I ran
You can take the mess of me
Turn this catastrophe into a masterpiece [Pray for me, pray for me]
Man, how your heart so cold in the summer?
Uh, I only paint my life at night
I’m scared of what I find when the sun up
Lord, pray for me [Pray for me, pray for me
What You gon’ do with this canvas?
Look how bad I messed up
And then one day I gave You the brush
Sat and watched You make a masterpiece from nothing
Lord, I need You to [Pray for mе
I need You to [Pray for me
Yeah
We arе works of art
Jesus, You just had to work on my heart, yeah, yeah, yeah
From the start
Only rebelled ’cause I was faking a part, yeah, yeah, yeah [Pray for me, pray for me
I know my identity, no good influence in my vicinity
So I ran the streets, ran the beef
05, handling heat, squeeze, oh my [Pray for me, pray for me
Drugs had a tight grip
Drank in styrofoam cups what I tip, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rolled on my lips
Exhale the smoke that made my mind drip, yeah, yeah, yeah [Pray for me, pray for me
Who knew that You would chase me down?
Your reckless love, it bade me come
My reality went from tragedy to the master’s [Pray for me, pray for me]
Man, how your heart so cold in the summer?
Uh, I only paint my life at night
I’m scared of what I find when the sun up
Lord, pray for me [Pray for me, pray for me
What You gon’ do with this canvas?
Look how bad I messed up
And then one day I gave You the brush
Sat and watched You make a masterpiece from nothing
Lord, I need You to [Pray for me
I need You to [Pray for me
Yeah
Yeah
In the hands of the Master I find peace
In the middle of a disaster, I managed to find belief
Knew when God was in the midst of the storm when He said, “Cease”
Faith [to Him, kept going?] [Pray for me, pray for me
God is showing, He said, “Leap”
My grief became relief
My [lease?] became complete
From a wolf became a sheep
Set me free when He paid the fee
In blood, He painted me on a canvas
A bloody tree
Him in anguish and misery till He vanquished the sin in me [Pray for me, pray for me
Rose in three, told the old to flee [Old to flee
He’s molding me into a work of art for all to see [For all to see
I got some flaws, far from perfect, I ain’t called to be [I ain’t called to be
At the least a masterpiece, that’s what He’s calling me [Pray for me, pray for me, that’s what He’s calling me
Picture perfect, a perfect picture with quoting scriptures
More than a conqueror, highly favored, a perfect mixture
, interceding, I walking on that water
In no order to bring change
He gave me more than just a quarter [Pray for me
That’s a hundred, I was running
He pursued
I was the one that He would use when He wanted
What I refuse in church
What I abused, had to choose life or death
Every breath I recollect with every step that in my [is where He met?] [Pray for me, pray for me
Called me blessed and never left
Man, how your heart so cold in the summer?
Uh, I only paint my life at night
I’m scared of what I find when the sun up
Lord, pray for me [Pray for me, pray for me
What You gon’ do with this canvas?
Look how bad I messed up
And then one day I gave You the brush
Sat and watched You make a masterpiece from nothing
Lord, I need You to [Pray for me
I need You to [Pray for me
Yeah
Way before 116, I been a cysteine
Get it? A work of art, but still so far from pristine
In this fiend, new no limits of doing wrong
Who could have known I was a masterpiece?
I used to eat all alone
Mind going off the drugs in the [Henny?
And when it came to sinnin’
Please believe your boy did plenty
Spent money nights on the road to destruction
Smokin’ lust and they cussin’
Deservin’ the death and all of its repercussions
I was good for nothin’
Oh, at least that’s what they used to say
But see them words carry weight, and I felt the pressure everyday
Then I watched my auntie fade away and lose her life to cancer
And all the while she kept telling me to Christ
And she the realest Christian I ever knew
I watched her pray till she died, that’s how I know it’s true
So I put my hope in You
A hopeless fool is what I used to be
But somehow You turned it all around and now You’re using me
I’m nothing like I used to be
And I know the devil mad at me
‘Cause in the midst of my depravity, You gave me back my faculties
I shoulda been a casualty, so I can’t serve You casually
‘Cause masterfully, You can turn this catastrophe to a masterpiece
You made that
Pray for me, pray for me
Pray for me, pray for me
