Mirror of my Manner

"But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was" (James 1:22).

Mirror, mirror, here am I,
Meditating on God's Word.
The Word of God I would apply,
As by its truth my heart is stirred.

Your Word is like a mirror, Lord,
Reflecting truth You see within.
By its reproof I am restored,
Confessing and forsaking sin.

So help me, Lord, as in Your mirror,
Which is Your Word to hear and heed,
To be a doer and a hearer
Of Truth that makes me free indeed.
