Whose Reflection Do You See?

when you're looking in the mirror whose reflection do you see?
do you see the spirit of God looking back at thee?

people walk around mad, angry and bitterness is what they portray
they have malice in their hearts for people they don't even know everyday
so whose reflection is it that the world sees on you?
what type of characteristics are coming through?

do you reflect the Sanhedrins with their hypocrisy?
do you reflect the Romans and their immoral society?
do you reflect the Enemy who ain't about nothing good?
or do you reflect Jesus the Christ as we all should?

as all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord
you need to get yourself together so your reflection will be in accord
don't allow anyone to change your Godly attitude
and don't allow circumstances to get the best of you

Jesus died not for His sins but for those we had
He only came to give us the gospel but the world at Him stayed mad
yet He did not allow society to reflect what He came to do
He did not let the hatred and disbelief stop Him from giving us our due

so if anyone does you a wrong don't hate just pray for them
and allow the Holy Spirit to take a hold of their sin
so whose reflection do you now see upon your face?
let it be a reflection of God full of His mercy and grace
