Looking in the mirror a reflection staring back
Opening the door the enemy begins to attack
For he just the image on the outside
Not the beauty or value, or anything else I try to hide
I have heard it said, that mirrors don’t lie
But they do, and they don’t even have to try
What I desire is a mirror, a mirror for my heart
One that shows who I am, who from the start
They also say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Well, my beauty comes from the Heavenly Soldier
In His eyes I am pleasing and oh, so much more
He sees more than just what reflects from the door
I am cherished and a daughter of the one true King
That is the beauty a mirror in the heart can bring
Finally they say beauty is more than skin deep
A concept that tears me up and makes me weep
For a person to truly see my heart and my soul
That my friend is love, the ultimate goal
