Reflections

On this Lenten morning I sit down to reflect

And search my heart for its true aspect.

I think about my Savior preparing to die

40 days of temptation endured for me, why?

His love ever flowing, His love undeserved,

Yet my heart sometimes struggles for His Word to be heard.

So in these weeks of reflection that we call Lent,

I want to draw closer to God’s Son who he sent.

Because nothing is more important than living today

Reflecting Christ’s love in my own special way.
