"Reflections of Time"
As I look back at my place in time
My life was unfruitful and sublime.
My roots weren't planted on solid ground or in any tree
Because there wasn't Jesus, just good old me.
I thought I was a good wife who was kind
Jesus appeared and changed my mind.

As time fades away, my future is a reflection
Of the many wonders I have seen.
Angels, miracles, and God's tender touch
At last I let Him enter, I love Him so much.

My life has new meaning. 
I'm alive now, growing, 
and extending that olive branch
The reflection I see now is of compassion, mercy, and love
And with my Savior I'm thankful I took that chance.
 
As I look in the mirror of time, I do see
A person Jesus has made of good old me.
A reflection of hope for a brighter tomorrow
And a future of love at last.
For time will go on as long as we leave an ugly past.

Words of wisdom for you and me
Be a reflection of all that you can be.
For Jesus will come into your heart and set you free.
