Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Who is the greatest one of all

Is it not the image I see

The one looking back at me

My social media feeds and posts

Says I'm the one the world loves most

Mirror, Mirror have I been deceived

This is not my praise I have received

The image you allowed me to see

That image is not the real me

Misplaced fear of social disgrace

Has turned me from my Savior's face

But when held up to the cross

My projected image has been lost

The real me has been found in Christ

Excavated at such a great price

Created in the actual image of God

But fell for the great façade

The great Shepard, left the ninety-nine

So, I would not be left behind

In holy fear I bow my knee

In awe of the One who died for me

Mirror, mirror your reign is done

My true image is reflected in the Son

And now I am free indeed

To show the world the real me
