His Image

I love the song "His Image in Your Countenance." I heard a great lesson on this very topic today, and the teacher handed out cards of the image below.  I hope and pray that I am better than I was 10 years ago, and that 10 years from now, I will be more Christlike than I am today.  Happy Sunday!

Cheesy and old school drawing, but still thought provoking.

His Image in Your Countenance 

lyrics by Janice Kapp Perry

With no apparent beauty that man should Him desire,
He was the promised Savior to purify with fire.
The world despised His plainness But those who followed Him
Found love and light and purity; A beauty from within.

(chorus)
Have you received His image in your countenance?
Does the Light of Christ Shine in your eyes?
Will he know you when He comes again because you shall be like Him,
When he sees you will the Father know His child?

We seek for light and learning as followers of Christ
That all may see His goodness reflected in our lives.
When we receive His fullness and lose desire for sin
We radiate His perfect love, A beauty from within.

The ways of man may tempt us and some will be deceived,
Prefering worldly beauty, Forgetting truth received,
But whisprings of the Spirit remind us once again
That lasting beauty, pure and clear must come from deep within.
