Double Mirror

It's hard for me to look in a mirror,

image is a funny thing... you see.

Reflection of who I am : Hate, addiction, Lies,

 Lust, envy, and greed: It looks like me.

What if I'm looking in the wrong Mirror

and it's all a big trick?

The enemy is the father of lies

Self-destruction is what he would want me to think.

So what if I turn my eyes to the Lord,

for an reflection of another kind?

Love, Patience, Gentleness, and honesty,

Now there's an image I want to be mine.

I must stay with the reflection of the Lord,

To rid myself of this vanity.

Stop looking in the enemies mirror,

because it's trying to steal my sanity

.

The Lord's reflection is the one I want for my life,

a reflection of beauty crystal clear.

So when the enemy tries to trick me by switching mirrors,

It will be all I can do to laugh at him without any fear.
