The Master Weaver
by Effie Darlene Barba
Broken threads my life you found
And with your love each piece you bound
A song of love your lips resound
With gentle hands, each thread you place
Oh could it be, amazing grace
A picture clear, my Savior’s face
What joy divine, could it be true
Each broken thread, you only knew
When woven tight would look like you
The Scarlet threads my broken heart
The deepest sorrows blue impart
Each silver thread of tears that fell
You guide my life with such detail
A brilliant gold, your love divine
My sins were washed, a white sublime
You gently weave with skillful hand
The portrait mine that you have planned
Oh, let me Lord remember this
That I might know with joy and bliss
You did ordain my every tear
That I might learn to never fear
That I might trust the weaver’s hand
And on this hope and promise stand
Your love will always know what’s best
Your cradling arms are where I rest
Broken threads my life you found
And with your love each piece you bound
A song of love your lips resound
With gentle hands, each thread you place
Oh could it be, amazing grace
A picture clear, my Savior’s face
What joy divine, could it be true
Each broken thread, you only knew
When woven tight would look like you
Though I wrote this poem/song many years ago—it remains so true for my life still today. God in his Sovereign Grace has planned a portrait that will one day when finished look like Christ. Imagine that—one day all the scars will fade away and I shall stand radiant, clothed in His Glorious Righteousness. That hope and promise of grace today and future grace which will accomplish all that he has planned for me is what causes me to arise from whatever ashes I find myself in to sing a song of praise to my Lord and King.
