I stare in the mirror, this broken glass reflection
Am I a man or am I a beast?
To what level have I descended, such utter rejection
Blistered with sin, hatred and disease
I claw at my face, the mask peels away
The leering grin of death is revealed
I am wretched, naked, pitiful and diseased
I thought I hid it well. I thought it was concealed!
I am steeped in sin, born in iniquity
I am covered in shame, dying in conformity
O wretched man that I am!
Who will save me from this body of death?
I stare in the mirror, this broken glass reflection
Drops of blood bleed upon the shards of light
Blood not of my own, but blood of the Son
Pouring through shredded veins for my imperfection
You hung in my place, murdered my flesh
Gazed in my eyes, spat in the face of death
Humbled and fallen, I rise in Your embrace
Shattered and broken, You bled for my disgrace!
I am steeped in sin, born in iniquity
I am covered in shame, dying in conformity
O wretched man that I am!
Who will save me from this body of death?
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!
