No perfect mirror now
exists
To show the Savior’s
mind and heart
Or picture perfectly
the God
Who, in him,
from the very start
Showed us Himself in
word and deed.
Then, by the Holy
Spirit’s art
A sacrifice was
offered that
Grace and salvation
would impart.
In Jesus Christ we can
see God;
In him we see our
Father’s face.
In him we see the God
of love,
Of mercy, joy, and
peace and grace
Who knows and meets
our ev’ry need.
Our ev’ry loss He will
replace.
In him we see what we
should be;
Our human lot he did
embrace.
There is no doubt, no
doubt at all
That God our Father
wants to see
His Christ in us, His
Son our Lord.
Redeemed and
sanctified and free,
With all entanglements
of sin
Removed from us.
Secure to be,
And anchored by a
perfect hope
That stretches to
eternity.
There also is no doubt
that those
Who know from Christ
we take our name
Should never see or
hear in us
What may bring Him
reproach or shame.
Do not misrepresent
the Lord,
Lest for our sins He
get the blame.
Instead make sure all
see in us
The good that will
enhance His fame.
