HTML5 Canvas - How to Draw a line over an image background?

Question

I am trying to draw a line on top of an image background - in an HTML5 Canvas . However always the line gets drawn behind the image . Actually the line gets drawn first and then the pictures get drawn - irrespective of how I call the functions.

How do I bring the line to the top of the image ?

var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
        var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
            context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
drawbackground(canvas, context); 
drawlines(canvas, context); 


function drawbackground(canvas, context){

    var imagePaper = new Image();


        imagePaper.onload = function(){


            context.drawImage(imagePaper,100, 20, 500,500);
        };

      imagePaper.src = "images/main_timerand3papers.png";
}



function drawlines(canvas, context){


            context.beginPath();
            context.moveTo(188, 130);
            context.bezierCurveTo(140, 10, 388, 10, 388, 170);
            context.lineWidth = 10;
            // line color
            context.strokeStyle = "black";
            context.stroke();
}

Totally untested code, but did you tried something like this?

function drawbackground(canvas, context, onload){

    var imagePaper = new Image();


        imagePaper.onload = function(){


            context.drawImage(imagePaper,100, 20, 500,500);
            onload(canvas, context);
        };

      imagePaper.src = "images/main_timerand3papers.png";
}

and then call the method like this...

 drawbackground(canvas, context, drawlines);
