Now We See in a Mirror Dimly

 This is a new song that has been running through my mind lately.

Along with it is a recognition that it is all to easy to have the "mirror" running backwards so that instead of reflecting God with our lives, we only see in our understanding of God a reflection of our own prejudices and preconceived notions.  This song, at least in my mind, is a prayer that more and more I'd be able to see God as God is and not just as I want God to be.

Now We See in a Mirror Dimly

Now we see in a mirror dimly

Then we shall see face to face

Now we see in a mirror dimly

Then we shall see face to face

And even what we see in that mirror

Fills us with wonder and awe.

Now we see in a mirror dimly

But then we shall see face to face.

Lord, when we see You we shall be like You

For we shall see You as You are

Help us to see You and to be like You

Help us to see You as You are.
