A Mirror in God's Hand

    by Paula J. Fox 

    I want to be a mirror, Lord . . . A reflection of Your grace

               To shine Your light for all to see

                    In every darkened place

      I want to be transfigured Lord, so the image others see

                Will be closer to Your likeness

                 And the light You've given me

    I have no light source of my own . . . but when I look at You

                  The radiance of Your glory

                  Shines in all I say and do

  I could stand to use some polish . . . I've been cracked and broken too

                  But it's not myself that matters

                 It's the light that comes from You

     Though I have some imperfections, I'm still useful in Your sight

                    And in Your hand I know

                 That You will angle me just right

      So that when Your face shines on me, it reflects on others too

                And as it does, please use me, Lord

                    To LIGHT my world for You.
