Ghost in the Mirror


Wondering, thinking if I'm ever going to be someone A ghost in the mirror, a stranger I've become Drowning my sorrow down the drain Hiding, covering, trying to disguise the pain Feeling stuck, abandoned, lost at sea An image slowly fading, an image of who I used to be This isn't who I am, the illusions been scratched Yet it feels like the lock to my future has already been latched Can't break free from the shackles of my past Pulling me down, down, anchoring me fast I'm fighing off this darkness inside Running away, but there's no where to hide From who I used to be I see my past in the mirror starring back at me I shatter the glass, breaking the reflection Realizing now that all along I've been chasing perfection Realizing now that I am already free That Jesus has already died to save me I have been rescued as He was resurrected Realizing that with His love I will never feel neglected Now that I am free I see Gods beautiful, wonderful creation staring back at me
