Analysis of Look in the mirror



Look in the mirror.  
What do you see?  
The glory in the Lord.  
Minister to me.

As you look in the mirror.
You are dressed to a “T”.
The dressing of the glory.
Keep your focus on me.  

Do not be distracted.
Focus on the mirror.  
The truth you will see.

Come to the land of milk and honey.
Examine yourself.
Flow in me.
As I flow in you.

I am your God.
There is no other.
Come stand in my glory.
