CHANGING FACES

One day I heard a mother
As she chastised her young bloke
You change your face right now young man
Were the very words she spoke
I thought this could be interesting
I wonder how it’s done
But I didn’t see what the mother saw
On the face of her young son

You see he looked quite cute to me
With his little pout and frown
His sister had just won the fight
He was feeling down
What his mother saw was an attitude
Reflected on his face
She saw the anger in his heart
She knew he needed grace

So many times we only see
The look they show externally
Not what’s written on the part
That’s hidden deep within the heart
If we’re to change wrong attitudes
To help them to be whole
We need to look much deeper
Into the windows of the soul

We need to read the true emotion
Felt within the heart
Identify and understand
To set this thing apart
For their actions are not always true
Of what’s felt deep inside
So many times strong fear has been
Mistakenly called pride

But first we need to put aside
The masks we daily wear
Learn to be transparent
Let the whole world know we care
Get the joy of the Lord into your heart
Then please inform your face
You never know it just might make
This world a better place
