On “Masterpiece,” Lecrae and Tori Kelly talk about God making one into a masterpiece, benefits from struggle, and clinging to God in times of trouble. This track marks the second collaboration between Lecrae and Tori Kelly, following their 2017 track “I’ll Find You,” which shares a similar message.
[Intro: Choir & Tori Kelly]
(Ooh)
It's so crazy to me
(Ooh)
How mistakes can be
(Ooh)
A blessing in disguise
(Ooh)
Lord, I'm so glad You're making me
A masterpiece
(Masterpiece) (Oh, Lord)
[Verse 1: Tori Kelly & Kirk Franklin]
(Hit me!)
When You look at me
Do You see a work of art in the making?
A sketch of what I'll be, mmm
I wonder what You see in me
Like what do You think?
When my life is not a melody in the morning
And I feel off key, yeah
Do You still believe in me?
Like a symphony, hey
You know how to make all things work together
Crazy how mistakes can be miracles in disguise
[Chorus: Tori Kelly]
That's why, tonight, I pray
Don't take Your love away
Forever in Your embrace
Without You, I'm like a storm with no end
Tossed by the wind and sea
And when I'm incomplete
Just one request from me
God, take my heart forever, it's Yours
Make me Your masterpiece, yeah
[Verse 2: Tori Kelly]
When You look at me, mmm
Do I make You smile at what You're creating?
Working patiently with me
Appreciate that I am worth Your time
'Cause I wanna be, ayy
Be the stone that You turned into Your treasure
Crazy how mistakes can be miracles in disguise
[Chorus: Tori Kelly & Choir]
That's why, tonight, I pray
Don't take Your love away
Forever in Your embrace
Without You, I'm like a storm with no end
Tossed by the wind and sea
And when I'm incomplete
Just one request from me
God, take my heart forever, it's Yours
Make me Your masterpiece
[Post-Chorus]
It's what I wanna be
[Chorus: Tori Kelly & Choir]
So I pray, don't take Your love away
Forever in Your embrace
Without You, I'm like a storm with no end
Tossed by the wind and sea
And when I'm incomplete
Just one request from me
God, take my heart forever, it's Yours
Make me Your masterpiece
[Verse 3: Lecrae]
Uh, now you know that you're a masterpiece
You probably feel like a catastrophe
You in the mirror everyday saying "uh" like Master P
Ain't really how it have to be
Now hold up (Listen)
You acting totally different
You got a whole new position
You are the Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, whole New Edition
You think I'm totally kidding but hold up a minute
Don't compare yourself with none of them
You one of one and ain't no synonym
A Master Artist take a mess and make a masterpiece
And look at you, you been a gem (Facts)
You shinin'
[Outro]
(God, take my heart forever, it's Yours
Make me Your masterpiece)
Oh, oh
Mmm, make me Your...
Your masterpiece
