Reflection

If I change the way I look at things
The things I look at change
I think that's why the Bible seems
So changeable and strange

His word is like a magic mirror
Reflecting each man's heart
What I see in what I read
Depends on where I start

What I see depends in part
On what I think I know
Do I trust in my own thoughts
Or do I want to grow

I listen to the word of God
And hear what it should say
Conform it to my paradigms
And justify my way

And thinking I have seen the truth
I just see my reflection
A god who looks a lot like me
A god of self deception
