What do you see

When you look in the mirror

What face looks back

God’s child

Or the world’s

Happiness from within

Or a mask

A hint of the façade

Built to protect

Do you know how amazing you are

How beautiful

How fearfully and wonderfully made

Do you know you are loved

Unconditionally

Forgiveness is available

Have you experienced it

Amazing grace

Freedom

Or do you still see chains

What reflection does the word see

Do they see joy

Peace

Thanksgiving

Do they see your light

Bursting from God’s presence

Within you

Do you see it

Or are you trapped in the dark

What do you see

As you gaze on

At the reflection looking back at you

Do you see a hard life

Pain

Shame

Guilt

Do you see a face aged

By exposure to the world

Or do you see the child

Smiling

Happy

Loved child

Flocking to the anchor of Christ

Reveling

In abundant

Exuberant

Faith

Is that reflection

One you try to cover

Hide

Dress up

Or one that you allow to shout

Shout from the mountain top

In praise and worship

For this life

You have been given

For the ashes

You have risen from

For the Lord

The Savior

Who has covered it all

Whose bloody reflection

Has washed yours white as snow

What do you see

When you look in the mirror

See Christ

And break free
