I Am a Child of God

Looking in the mirror, all I see is me.
Nothing exceptional, but I am special.
No matter what age, I will always be a child,

for I am a child of God.

I do not desire to be one who turns heads.
Nor do I desire to be the one who gets ahead.
But I do desire to be the one drawn to Thee

for I do desire that others see Christ in me.

I am just flesh and bones, a body that will soon just waste away.
But I gaze at myself and Lord I do pray-
That you will fill me with Your gentle Spirit,
So that I may show others that You are the only Way.

I pray you place many on my daily path,

and give words that reflect a humble heart.
May I plant seeds of faith that allow them to see You, Lord,

who has loved them from the start.

Oh, let me be a reflection of Your love Lord,

open their eyes so they may see.
I desire nothing more than to allow You

to glorify Yourself through me.
