I bought this little mirror,
and looked in it and grinned
but much to my surprise
it reflected from within.
I didn’t see life’s vanities
like my freckles, or my hair.
No, all I saw was the ugliness,
of sin’s presence, as I stare.
I saw my lack of faith,
and patience and belief.
Then turned the other way,
in hopes of some relief.
I glanced again half hoping,
‘twas a nightmare, or a dream.
Because I’d always held my head
with power and esteem.
But there before my eyes,
were all my hidden sins,
and I knew without a doubt
where life changes should begin.
I closed my eyes in sorrow,
as tears of cleansing came.
Then mercy from a sovereign Lord
would take away the blame.
All my pride and holiness,
I would count as loss;
and as I looked back in the mirror
my reflection was the cross.
