~Images Of Oneself~

When I look in the mirror The reflections that I see, Are not of anyone famous They are only of me. No matter what I do No matter where I go, I cannot lie to this image Or hide from its glow.

When other people see me They see a room dimly lit, To see it though and though One must come in and sit. There's a room in my heart That no one knows but God, It's sealed to the public Away from stares and nods.

But on that Great Judgment Day Before Him I will stand, The Levi Jeans I'm wearing Will not be worth their brand. The gold chain around my neck Or the fur around my back, Will not impress the Savior For what my soul may lack.

So mirror when I look at you I want to always see, A person clean inside and out And ready for Eternity.
