I looked in the mirror yesterday

Seeing every time I lost my way.

To life's temptations, I did succumb.

How I hated the person I'd become.



As I gazed deeply through the glass,

I knew it would be hard to surpass

All the things I'd ever done wrong

And still attempt to try and be strong.



As I thought about life, what does it matter?

One more crack; the mirror about to shatter.

Living through life facing the unknown

One thing is certain: I cannot do this alone.



The only way to see myself more clearly

Was to give myself to Him completely.

To remember all He had done for me:

He gave me eternal life, guaranteed.



With grace, He wiped the mirror clean

Revealing all I hadn't before seen.

He made this mirror much less blurry

By removing all my shame and worry.



I looked in the mirror today once again

Seeing all the wisdom I'd since gained.

While the reflection remained the same,

I'm more accepting of who I became.

I looked in the mirror yesterday
seeing every time I lost my way.
To life's temptations, I did succumb.
How I hated the person I had become.

As I gazed deeply through the glass,
I knew it would be hard to surpass
all the things I had ever done wrong
and still attempt to try and be strong.

As I thought about life, what does it matter?
One more crack; the mirror about to shatter.
Living through life facing the unknown.
One thing is certain: I cannot do this alone.

The only way to see myself more clearly
was to give myself to Him completely.
To remember all He had done for me:
He gave me eternal life, guaranteed.

With grace, He wiped the mirror clean
revealing all I had not before seen.
He made this mirror much less blurry
by removing all my shame and worry.

I looked in the mirror today once again
seeing all the wisdom I had since gained.
While the reflection remained the same,
I am more accepting of who I became.
