GOT HIS RAGGEDY EASEL OUT
AND HE HEADED FOR THE DOOR
WITH HIS
FAITHFUL DOG CAPTAIN
BY HIS SIDE
AND THEY MADE THEIR WAY
DOWN THE BEATEN PATHWAY
TO THE
SEASHORE DOWN BELOW
JUST LIKE
THEY HAD
SO MANY TIMES BEFORE
DIDN`T WASTE
A MINUTE OF TIME
HE SET HIS COLORS STRAIGHT
IN A LINE
AND HE PAINTED GOD`S OCEAN
BEAUTIFUL AND BLUE
AND HE DABBED
A LITTLE TURQUOIS AND CORAL
FOR THE SKY
AND WHEN PASSERBY`S
GAZED ON HIS WORK
THEY CRIED
OLD JAKE `AINT SEEN A THING
IN ALL HIS NINETY YEARS
BUT HE CAN PAINT A PICTURE
THAT`LL MELT
YOUR HEART TO TEARS
OLD JAKE`S A LIVING MIRACLE
THE PERFECT PICTURE
OF OUR GOD
YOU SEE
HE DON`T SEE WITH HIS EYES
BUT WITH HIS HEART
JUST `FORE SUNSET
CAPTAIN
GAVE OLD JAKE A NUDGE
AND THEY
MADE THEIR WAY
UP THAT SAME PATHWAY
HEADING HOME
AND THEY PASSED A SIGN
THAT`S BEEN THERE
A LONG TIME
THAT SAYS
THIS BEACH IS CONDEMMED
BUT LORD WILLING
TOMORROW
OLD JAKE
WILL JUST PAINT
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE AGAIN
IN ALL HIS NINETY YEARS
BUT HE CAN PAINT A PICTURE
THAT`LL MELT
YOUR HEART TO TEARS
OLD JAKE`S A LIVING MIRACLE
THE PERFECT PICTURE
OF OUR GOD
YOU SEE
HE DON`T SEE WITH HIS EYES
BUT WITH HIS HEART
JESUS SAW US
WHEN HE WAS HANGIN
ON THE CROSS
WE WERE CONDEMMED
PRISONERS OF SIN
BUT HE STILL
SAW SOMETHING
BEAUTIFUL
IN US
IN ALL HIS NINETY YEARS
BUT HE CAN PAINT A PICTURE
THAT`LL MELT
YOUR HEART TO TEARS
OLD JAKE`S A LIVING MIRACLE
THE PERFECT PICTURE
OF OUR GOD
YOU SEE
HE DON`T SEE WITH HIS EYES
BUT WITH HIS HEART
IS
YOUR VISION
