Picture Frame
La Rue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord God, You are my only answer
Holy Father, You are my only prayer
I need Your love to guide me through my troubles
I need Your light to guide me through despair

You are standing there, in Your righteous throne
Help me to see the truth
Help me, I'm all alone

And there's a picture frame on the wall
It' a shame there's no picture to put in it
And you're outside looking in
You think you're fine but your heart is full of sin

Jesus Christ, You are the love of my life
You judge in wisdom, faith, love and truth
Help me, guide me, my life is in Your hands
Forgo my anger, frustration and fear

You are reaching out
Your hand to me
Help me to grasp it tight
Help me with all Your might

And there's a picture frame on the wall
It's a shame there's no picture to put in it
And you're outside looking in
You think you're fine but your heart is full of sin





Lord God, You are my only answer

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of La Rue’s song “Picture Frame” seem to be a heart cry to God for guidance through difficult times. The song is a prayer to God for His love to guide and His light to guide the singer out of despair. The opening line of the song “Lord God, You are my only answer” emphasizes the singer’s need for divine help. The singer acknowledges that God is the only one who can provide guidance and direction in life, and that the singer needs Him to truly see the truth.


The second verse of the song continues the call for divine guidance, as the singer turns to Jesus Christ as the love of his life. The singer asks for forgiveness for anger, frustration, and fear, and also seeks God’s wisdom, faith, and truth for judgment. The singer acknowledges his need for God’s guidance and His presence in his life.


The chorus of the song is an interesting contrast to the rest of the lyrics. It speaks of a picture frame on the wall without a picture in it, and someone outside looking in who believes they are fine, but the singer knows that their heart is full of sin. This metaphor could refer to several things, such as the emptiness or meaninglessness that can come with material possessions, or someone who has everything on the outside, but is still lost and broken on the inside.


Overall, “Picture Frame” is a powerful message of dependence on God’s guidance and love through difficult times.
