Mirror Vol Ii

I look myself in the mirror and I 
quickly look away, the man I see 
before me was different yesterday 
seems to me I worship the same 
God everyday, I been a slave to my 
flesh for too long still I'm hoping 
today is my payday, Mayday my life 
is in a state of emergency, they say 
it's power in prayer I hope so 
because me not doing so is hurting 
me, my surgeon says I gotta heart 
condition and the only way to fix it 
is to be sincere with repentance, 
forgiveness only takes place when 
the heart is broken and contrite, 
psych 101 when your mind is a 
slave, no matter how hard you try 
it's hard to escape, but the father 
threw a rope a way out of this 
destruction, the son gave it all up 
and it cost us nothing. So as I look 
back into that mirror I see what he 
saw imperfect perfection, sanctified 
sinner who by faith and grace he 
predestined
