The Mirror
I gazed into a mirror
And beheld a face I knew,
A face with faults and flaws
Of which there weren't a few.
I left that telling mirror
And went on my way,
Forgetting what I saw there
As I went about my day.
I gazed into the Bible
And beheld a soul I knew,
A soul with faults and flaws
Of which there weren't a few.
I left that Holy Book
And went on my way,
Forgetting what I saw there
As I went about my day.
We must not only read
And understand our sin,
We must work with all our heart
To set it straight again.
The next time you gaze
Into the Word of God,
And see your very soul there
And a heart that is flawed,
Leave the Book with purpose,
And go about your way.
Remember what you saw there,
And work on it that day.
