"Color My View" by Carli Lessing: When Life Fades to Gray, God Paints in Full Color


There are moments in life that most of us know too well, the moment where life loses its color and everything is overshadowed with a dull, heavy gray. That's the starting point of "Color My View" by Carli Lessing. Carli shares: "Sometimes losing a dream or someone you love can feel like all the color draining from your life. But the Master Painter can pick up His brush and color your view with love again and make things new." 

Carli Lessing - Color my viewBut instead of staying in the shadows, Carli shows us that we can choose to boldly step into God's light, His light of renewal. There is more to this song than healing. More important is that it is an invitation to start seeing again. We can choose to sulk in the past, stay in the gray, or see a love that is so vivid, "red, green, and golden," that it changes our perspective on life. Carli reminds us that the Master Artist doesn't just patch up the broken, "You color my view // Red, green and golden // Brushstrokes of your goodness // You color my view // Open my eyes to see the // Landscapes of your love in scintillating hues // Love in red, green, golden and blue". 

Instead of focusing on what's been lost (the gray), we can open our eyes to see the "Landscapes of your love in scintillating hues." Yes, it can be tough. Yes, there may be pain, but He has given us a promise of healing and grace. To get out of the gray, we are called to believe. Can you imagine seeing your life through the lens of His grace? To smell the lime green shoots of new beginnings? To feel the freedom in a sky that is as wide as His mercy? 

May this song be your reminder that joy can be restored. Listen. Breathe. Let Him color your view.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 61:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Psalm 30:11)
