[Verse 1]
When God paints
Birds sing
He colors every feather on a sparrows wings
When God paints
The wind blows
With a stroke of love he dips his brush in a rainbow
[Chorus]
Sometimes I take for granted the simple things
I can be his biggest critic when it starts to rain
There's always a bigger picture I can't explain
[Verse 2]
When God paints
The heart beats, a life begins
A season ends, and lovers meet
And Iv'e learned
That sometimes its not always black and white
Or well defined
When God Paints
[Chorus]
Sometimes I take for granted the simple things
I can be his biggest critic when it starts to rain
There's always a bigger picture I can't explain
[Verse 3]
When God paints
We dance
And I reach across the canvas and I take your hand
And my world is so complete
When I look at you a masterpiece is all I see
When God paints
[Chorus]
Sometimes I take for granted the simple things
I can be his biggest critic when it starts to rain
There's always a bigger picture I can't explain
When God paints
[Outro]
I pray I always see the beauty inside the frame
When God paints
When God paints
Birds sing
He colors every feather on a sparrows wings
When God paints
The wind blows
With a stroke of love he dips his brush in a rainbow
[Chorus]
Sometimes I take for granted the simple things
I can be his biggest critic when it starts to rain
There's always a bigger picture I can't explain
[Verse 2]
When God paints
The heart beats, a life begins
A season ends, and lovers meet
And Iv'e learned
That sometimes its not always black and white
Or well defined
When God Paints
[Chorus]
Sometimes I take for granted the simple things
I can be his biggest critic when it starts to rain
There's always a bigger picture I can't explain
[Verse 3]
When God paints
We dance
And I reach across the canvas and I take your hand
And my world is so complete
When I look at you a masterpiece is all I see
When God paints
[Chorus]
Sometimes I take for granted the simple things
I can be his biggest critic when it starts to rain
There's always a bigger picture I can't explain
When God paints
[Outro]
I pray I always see the beauty inside the frame
When God paints
