Tapestry

Creation and redemption share one loom in Hillsong United's "Tapestry." The first verse begins with the Maker of earth and sky, whose word "formed life and light," and the chorus describes lives as "a tapestry of grace" that God's hand "has weaved together," with no thread that will ever fray. The craft language continues with "masterpiece" and "work of art," close to Ephesians 2:10, where believers are called God's workmanship.

The second verse carries the picture to Calvary. God is the "Author of grace divine," and the cross is named "the centerpiece" of the gift, the place where "You set us free." Rather than leaving grace abstract, the lyric fastens the design to one event, so the metaphor never drifts into decoration.

A short closing section looks up: "Lift our eyes towards the Son," then "Raised to life You've overcome." Parenthetical lines add "Every knee will bow at the name of Jesus," pointing to Philippians 2:10, while the Author wording recalls Hebrews 12:2. The song settles on confidence instead of puzzlement, since the work holds together because Christ does.
