I Looked Into The Mirror Today Poem by Royston Allen

I looked into the mirror today
and I just did not know what to say.
For the person looking back at me
was the person I'd turned out to be.

It was God's Word that I'd looked into
and I did not know what to do.
Then, 'Come to me', I heard Jesus say
so to the cross I went straight away.

My sins had so disfigured my soul
and I needed Him to make me whole.
It required a miracle of grace
to remove all my wretched disgrace.

As I stood there feeling all my shame
I saw that He had taken the blame.
He had shed His blood to make me clean.
The cleanest that I had ever been.

Yet I still sin in my stubborn pride
and His arms are still opened so wide.
Why is it that I always delay
to gaze into that mirror each day?
