For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
Romans 1:16
This short video contains the poem My Mirror set to pictures and music. The poem was written by my dear sister in Christ, Steph at www.surrender-all-jessie.com and I thank her for allowing me to interpret it in this way. You can find the story behind the poem on Steph’s blog here
For me the poem is all about asking God to show me the true condition of my heart through His word, and then seeing the transformation that He wills to bring about in my heart as He conforms me to His word.
Lord, high and holy, meek and lowly, Thou has brought me to the valley of vision, where I live in the depths but see thee in the heights; hemmed in by mountains of sin I behold thy glory. Let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess all, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive, that the valley is the place of vision.
and the deeper the wells the brighter thy stars shine; Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy life in my death, thy joy in my sorrow, thy grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty thy glory in my valley.
 Augustus Montague Toplady My unbelief remove; Now thy quick’ning Spirit give, The unction from above; Shew me, Lord, how good thou art, My soul with all thy fulness fill: Send the witness in my heart The Holy Ghost reveal. 2. Dead in sin ’till then I lie, 3. Blessed Comforter, come down, 4. Let me in thy love rejoice, 5. Whom the world cannot receive, |
