Virtuoso Lyrics
A handful of dust, a worthless piece of clay
And You breathed the breath of Heaven
Then there was a soul, the heart, the hands, the voice
That could sing of Your perfection
Life is a symphony that only You can play
You know I can hear it through the madness every day
Virtuoso
Virtuoso
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song
Virtuoso
There isn't a note of mediocrity
In all of Your creation
And all of the beauty we create with human hands
Is only imitation
Thunder crashes, waves crescendo on the sand
The wind that's whispering can only be Your hand
Virtuoso
Virtuoso
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song
Virtuoso
A timeless melody of beauty and emotion
Perfect harmony, inspiring true devotion
No one else can play its chords
So graceful yet so strong
You made the instrument and wrote the song
Virtuoso

This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song

(virtuoso)
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song
Virtuoso
And You breathed the breath of Heaven
Then there was a soul, the heart, the hands, the voice
That could sing of Your perfection
You know I can hear it through the madness every day
Virtuoso
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song
Virtuoso
In all of Your creation
And all of the beauty we create with human hands
Is only imitation
The wind that's whispering can only be Your hand
Virtuoso
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song
Virtuoso
Perfect harmony, inspiring true devotion
No one else can play its chords
So graceful yet so strong
You made the instrument and wrote the song
(Virtuoso)
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song
Virtuoso
(virtuoso)
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song

I don't feel qualified to describe this song. It's so beyond my vocabularily and level of articulation.
Virtuoso is a noun for someone who is extremely skilled and excels in musical technique and execution. David is calling God "Virtuoso" in this song and every lyric fits perfectly. No one can even compete with the one who "made the instrument and wrote the song." Everything we do on our own is "only and imitation" of how it's supposed to be. Creation and Life is to God as a beautiful composition and elegant piano are to a musical master. Only God is so much more, creation is infinitely more powerful and moving than piece by Mozart or Beethoven could ever be.
The music is awesome as well, with the weaving of David's voice and the violin, and the accompanying piano, all building to the key change. Incredible.
