In My Mirror

Lord, who do you see
When you look at me?
I keep on hiding from myself;
And every day I find
In the shadows of my mind
Another mask to take down from my shelf.

So I try again to be
What I think others see -
I seem to have forgotten who I am;
And I've never even guessed
All the ways I could be blessed
If I just bore more resemblance to the Lamb.

Then let me gaze into your word
Until all my soul is stirred
By a longing, Lord, to be like you!
When your spirit has control
Of my body, mind and soul.....
Then my life will bear your image, too.

  1. This truly touched my heart...it is reflections of my own thoughts. Did you write it?

  2. Yes, I wrote it a couple of years ago, and it came back to me that day.
