THE FACE OF A SINNER


I look in the mirror, and what do I see?
The face of a sinner stares back at me,
A sinner deserving of hell's fire and flame,
But one saved by God's grace, through Jesus' dear Name,
Washed in the blood of Calvary's Lamb,
Declared righteous by God, though a sinner I am.
Not one shred of righteousness dwelleth in me,
But God, by His grace, hath declared me sin free,
And though I should stumble, mortal man that I am,
I'm washed white as the snow in the Blood of the Lamb.
