Reflections

by Atarah Derekh

I was playing around with the words to Mulan's song one evening, and I changed them to what they might say if a Christian were perhaps asking God's forgiveness for a mistake she's made. I like it.

Reflections

Look at me

I will never pass for a perfect child

Or a perfect Christian

Could it be

I will always struggle to play this part?

Now I see

Unless I truly strive to be like Him

I will break my Father's heart

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

Why is my reflection someone I don't know?

Somehow I cannot hide

Sin and Shame, though I've tried

When will my reflection show

Who I have inside?

When will my reflection show

Who I have inside?
