Mirror

Just as an introduction, this poem is about God's law, how it shows our sinfulness and is meant to point us to Jesus. I wrote it last year for an English class and hope you enjoy it.


The book is opened here and now,
What lies I've told and men disowned.
Laughed, as I myself enthroned.
Rolled in filth like wretched sow.
With stubborn heart refused to bow.
Repentance was too oft postponed.
Sinful ways I have condoned.
How can I be saved oh Lord, how can I be saved, oh how?

We all lie depraved.
The minister preaches,
and tells us about what our God teaches.
That if we believe in Jesus, we all shall be saved!
Oh what good news, what good news I say!
For He saved we who were just traitor clay.
