Mirror of Truth

James 1:22-25 & James 4:17

I stand before the mirror of truth
With the reflection of my soul before me
I know that if I look
And walk away
I will forget

I am afraid to look and stay
And yet I am ashamed to walk away

I stand before the mirror of truth
I do not want to gaze too closely at myself
I know that if I look
And take to heart
My heart must change

I am afraid to look and stay
And yet I am ashamed to walk away

I want to look upon the surface
But if my eyes are opened I will see the flaws
I know that if I see
A need for change
I am condemned

He who know the right thing to do
And does not do that thing
It is a sin

I am afraid to look and stay
And yet I am ashamed to walk away

I stand before the mirror of truth
Afraid to look
