I look
into the mirror sometimes
and I
see a sourness;
I look
into the mirror sometimes
and I
see a weariness;
I look
into the mirror sometimes
and see
irritation and stress;
I look
into the mirror sometimes
and I
cannot see God's likeness.
I look
into the mirror sometimes
and I
see anxiety;
I look
into the mirror sometimes
and what's
staring back at me
isn't
peace or joy or gentleness,
so could
this reflection that I see
be the
kind of "face value" I project
when people
first meet me?
Oh, Jesus,
override my flesh
and shine
Your beauty forth!
Let others
that I meet today
see You
in me, my Lord!
When I'm
faced with trials, remind me
that I'm
facing them with You
so my
face will reflect Your nature, Lord,
and people
will know that I know You --
and they
can take me at face value!
