11. Picture of Salvation
What a perfect work of art! Every stroke of the artist’s hand
Colors of earth, with hues of heaven in His eyes a brilliant glow to light the skies.

Humble silhouette in a cave where men draw near. Contrasts of a mother’s love.
Created to fulfill a plan for all mankind, the artist fashions His design.

Christ, You are the Picture of Salvation!
The Heavenly Host proclaiming “Peace On Earth”
The Father’s most magnificent creation.
Your glory revealed long before Your birth.

As the artist changed to shadows, adding greys, colors blended into one.
The canvas—Calvary, the hope—the cross, the crown. Darkness as they brought Him down.

Faded flesh and blood reflecting rays of light, the picture of the cave returns.
The manger bed transformed into an empty tomb. The masterpiece now etched in you.

Christ, You are the Picture of Salvation!
Why did it take your death to see your worth
The Father’s most magnificent creation.
Your glory revealed long before Your birth.
