[Title: I CAN'T SEE MY OWN FACE] [Verse 1] I can't see my own face. You can't see yours. We're standing inside the story. That's why we miss the doors. Mud on the cheek— I can feel it, I can guess. I cannot turn my eyes around and look at this. [Pre-Chorus] So somebody I trust says— hey, there's mud right here. Not your face is ugly. Just look with me, my dear. [Chorus] HOLD UP THE MIRROR. I'll hold one too. This is what I see. Will you look with me? Don't only show the dirt. Show me what grew. A broken mirror only shows the wound. I CAN'T SEE MY OWN FACE. That's why I need you true. [Verse 2] If I don't trust you, "there's mud" sounds like "you're bad." If you don't trust me, "I see you" sounds like the worst look you ever had. Shame adds a sentence nobody said. Trust lets us check the words instead. Work on this is not you are the wound. Two things can be true in the same room. [Chorus] HOLD UP THE MIRROR. Not to own you. Not to play God. A witness on the same sod. I have seen you. You can see me. Tell me the good you see or the glass is a courtroom seat. [Bridge] Hubby needs a mirror. Wifey needs one too. Neither of us is Judge. Neither of us wrote the Book. We look together. Then we wipe. Then we stay. The measuring line is not my mouth. It's what God already said. [Final Chorus] HOLD UP THE MIRROR. I'll hold one too. Mud is not the face. Growth is not a lie. Look together. Check the words. Keep the chair. Lift the eyes. I CAN'T SEE MY OWN FACE. You can't see yours. That's why love tells the truth and also remembers what grew. [Outro] This is what I am seeing. Will you look with me? [Silence] JESUS IS THE LORD.
