It Shows in Your Face

You don't have to tell how you live each day;
You don't have to say if you work or you play;
A tried, true barometer serves in the place --
However you live, it will show in your face.

The false, the deceit that you bear in your heart,
Will not stay inside where it first got a start;
For sinew and blood are a thin veil of lace --
What you wear in your heart, you wear in your face.

If your life is selfless, if for others you live,
For not what you get, but how much you can give;
If you live close to God in his infinite grace --
You don't have to tell it, it shows in your face.

** We do take on the appearance of our thoughts, our desires, our actions. Remember what Soloman said: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." [Proverbs 23:7]
