I once saw God...

I once saw God,

As through a window in my soul I peered.

He was just as I suspected, Just as I feared.

So selfish and cruel He appeared to be;

So very ugly, So unlike me.

Then looked I deeper, Still deeper with time;

T’was a mirror all along,

And the image was mine.

I now see God,

As to His Son I gaze;

So beautiful with goodness are all of His ways.

As I continue to look deeper; Still deeper with time,

His character of love

Finds a mirror in mine.
