First Vocalist
In the mirror
A woman smiles at me.
Who knows the sorrow
That hollows me?
Who can sense the loneliness
Of tears I've locked away—
No one near enough to hear
The words I cannot bear to say.
Turn away, begin your day—
So many things to do that will not keep.
In the mirror I see a woman weep.
First Chorus
Father Hear my cries!
Look upon me with Thine Eyes.
Give me strength to bear
The burdens I despair
If it be Thy will
Make my storms be stilled
And let me know that I am loved, that I am loved.
Second Vocalist
In the mirror
I see a woman's face
In her can I measure
The light of grace?
On this day can I repay
Christ's suffering for me?
And love as Jesus loved in Gethsemane?
Turn away, begin the day—
For I have covenants to keep.
In the mirror I remember and I weep.
Second Chorus
Father make me wise!
Let me see with Thine Eyes.
Teach me to watch with care
For any burdens I can share;
Help me understand—
Make me Thy hands
That I may love as I am loved, as I am loved.
