Petra – Magic Mirror

Words and music by Bob Hartman

(Chorus)

Magic mirror don’t let me walk away without seeing who I am

Magic mirror don’t let me see who I am and only walk away

I must have walked by you a thousand times before

I never noticed you were hanging on my door

But then you caught my eye and let me see myself

My legs were running with my shoes nailed to the shelf

When I saw you hanging there I had to stop and stare

‘Cause every time I see a little more of me

Sometimes I don’t know who’s been looking back at me

If I’d look closer I know I would always see

Won’t you reflect your light on me and I’ll reflect on you

Let me really see just how I look to you

(Bridge)

When I act too tall, you bring me down to size

And when I feel too small you show me all the lies I try to tell myself

How can I thank you for all you’ve done for me?

And now I’m watching and I see me grow in you

I know that I’ve got so much growing left to do

Please keep me in your light from morning until night

Until I finally come into the image of the Son
