Story Behind The Song
Julia Cameron, wife of the acclaimed film producer, created a mega best-selling self-help series called "The Artist's Way" on unleashing one's creative potential and viewing creativity as a divine act in the world since it participates in the act of the Creator.
Song Description
Beauty in nature reveals glimpses of heaven.
The earth is like an artist's canvas, bearing the marks and revealing the nature of the Creator.
Seasons changing "remind us of divine will and whimsy" that is transcendent and requiring us to "let go of the present".
We are creators, too, as seen in our inventions and in our intimate passions producing new offspring, "engendered by the love of the Creator".
Our creations reveal who we are as creators, sealed with the mark of The Creator.

Lyrics
Your Mark
Music by John Stallworth, Lyrics by Andrea Davis-Griffin
(c) 2009 PrayerLifeMusic/ASCAP
1 Mountains and wave crests,
Green leaves' translucence,
Your beauty surrounds us
We foretaste our future with glimpses:
Resonating, recognizing heaven.
Your nature revealing,
Waking our souls' eyes:
Vaguely glimpsing, then thrilling,
Then yearning, for your eyes:
Reminiscing, recollecting heaven.
You, our creator,
The Earth is your canvas
Your handiwork shows who you are....
Something from nothing
Form out of chaos
Beauty from ashes
Your mark
2 Thunder wakes us
Lightning blinds us
Wind rushes in
And as the Earth shakes,
Your power around us:
Reverberating, resonating heaven.
Seasons changing, life rearranging
Leaves turn and they're reminding of
Divine will and whimsy transcendent,
Calling us to let go of the present....
3 Painting and sculpting,
Tall bridges rising
Perfect poetry and grand ideas
Solutions, inventions,
Enlightened by the spark of our creator,
Passionate striving, love's goal transpiring
Heavenly ecstasy creates new beings,
Offspring by merging,
Engendered by the love of our creator:
We are creators,
Your image on canvas
Our handiwork shows who we are:
Something from nothing,
Form out of chaos,
Beauty from ashes
Our mark.......
Beauty from ashes,
Your mark.....
