i'm touched by the way you've lived your life

Some words by my great friend, Aaron D: (a stunningly beautiful song, if you haven't heard it)

we stand as the masterpiece
your work of art
we have your fingerprints
'cause you gave your heart

i come as one who sees in small
driven and tossed by these waves
i cannot see the shore from here
i'm touched by the way you've lived your life

your voice your smile and those eyes
that lit up when you spoke to me
we stand as the masterpiece
your work of art

we have your fingerprints
because you gave your heart
you were the brush
that was dipped in life

and the hand of a gentle lord
painted on us
i come as one who sees in small
the pouring of a God

surrounding me in peace
i don't pretend to know it all
but as you gave your life to a god
he gave it back to us

'cause you were his masterpiece
his work of art
you had his fingerprints
deep in your heart

you were his instrument
you were his brush
took to his gracious gracious love
you met us

now we are his masterpiece
his work of art
we have fingerprints
of the God who knows our hearts

we are his instruments
we are his brush
dipped in his love
we are your legacy to one we touch

to all we touch
we stand as the masterpiece
you were his masterpiece
now we are his masterpiece
