Just in case you missed this on Facebook, I have posted two worship songs, recorded recently and posted up for your listening pleasure. I tried for a few weeks to do it "right." I tried to record just the guitar, then lay down some vocals but it never sounded "real." It sounded forced. I just decided I would do as many takes as I needed to and just do it live. After all, it's worship. So they didn't turn out perfect, but I like the rawness of the takes. So two songs so far, and both I think require some explanation.

New Mirror -

During worship one night, while leading, I heard the Lord say "Look into the mirror of the image of Son and throw away your old mirrors." So, naturally I wrote a worship song called "New Mirror." Lyrics -

I need a new mirror

one that only shows me You

the image of how You see me

In the light of Your truth.

I need to be a reflection

of Your holy son

not a glimpse through human eyes

that only sees the things I've done

And in Your light there is

no shadow cast

I'm through wasting my life

chasing crowns that just don't last

Now for the first time I see me through Your eyes

so tell me God, what do You think of me

when You look at me? ...You see your Son!

I realized when I was 25, through a divine intervention in my life, God peeled back the layers of my self-image the lie that others had put on me as to what I really was and what He could do through me. I'm not one for self-esteem or being obsessed with my self image. Self-esteem? What is that? In our modern world it is a way of deluding ones self into thinking you are a great wonderful person. A true self image is seeing yourself as God sees you, not as the world sees you. This is a message that needs to be taught, re-taught and become part of your being.

Throw away your old mirror and look into the image of His Son!
