This song is an expression of gratitude for my life to that Power which convened the Universe and continues to sustain it.

I am an artist of a kind
Painting my pictures
In your hearts and in your minds
Searching for treasure
And sharing what I find
It’s a good life - yes it’s a good life!

And I thank God for the colors
For the light and for the shade
The beauty of creation
Everything that He has made

I’ve known the sorrow and the pain
Of times when I wondered
If I’d ever smile again
I wished that it was over
But my wishing was in vain
‘Cos it’s a long road, it’s been a long road

Still I thank God for the colors
For the light and for the shade
The beauty of creation
Everything that She has made

And I’ve known the joy of being free
Felt like the world
Was made especially for me
I’m grateful for everyone
Who taught me how to be
On my journey
This blessed journey

And I thank God for the colors
For the light and for the shade
The beauty of creation
Everything that God has made

Yes I am an artist of a kind
Painting my pictures
In your hearts and in your minds
Searching for treasure
And sharing what I find
It’s a good life
It’s been a good life
