Story Behind the Song
"This song was written at one of the lowest times in my life-so low, in fact, that I was contemplating suicide because of how worthless and useless I felt about myself. A friend of mine came over and reminded me of the importance of pouring our hearts and feelings out to God, regardless of the circumstances. This song came from that prayer..."-James Michael
Lyrics
prelude
looked in the mirror and I thought to myself,
how could it possibly be?
what would a God so perfect want with someone like me?
verse 1
all I see is a life of regrets,
someone too tired to try,
what good is hope when my soul wants to give up and die?
(a Voice says) Hear Me, clearly,
Dont look back, what’s done is done
New life, new sight,
I know your future, I see the man you will become…
chorus
immaculate perception,
heaven’s point of view,
while you see your world through dark-colored glasses,
God sees the best in you
verse 2
depression hides the Son from my eyes,
despair has kept me alone,
no end in sight, I wish God would just take me home
cant cope, no hope,
chains of death,
they wrap themselves around me,
My life laid, your debt paid,
Give Me your burdens and let Me set your spirit free…
chorus
instrumental bridge
verse 3
Your love and faithfulness, i cannot describe,
Your peace i cant comprehend,
in spite of me, You still want to call me Your friend
hide me, guide me,
reveal Your truth and light my road ahead
hold me, mold me
into Your likeness and let the world see You instead
chorus twice
looked in the mirror and I thought to myself,
how could it possibly be?
