Too Close To The Mirror Chords by Eddie Ruth Bradford

I've often been called the man [G] behind the mirror [Am] as it relates to [D] Too Close to the Mirror
by Eddie [C] Ruth Bradford.
[Gm] This song _ [C] is a reflection of all of the people [Am] that feel inferior [Dm] as it relates to their
[G] capabilities and their abilities.
[C] A lot of times [Am] God will see something in us [Dm] that we really don't see in [G] ourselves.
And sometimes [C] we are too close to [Am] the mirror to see what Jesus [Dm] sees in us.
[G] There are a few people, characters in [C] the Bible, that were too close [Am] to the mirror.
One in [Dm] particular was Moses.
[C] God sent Moses to Egypt and he [Ab] told Moses, go [Am] tell Pharaoh to let my people go.
[G] Moses replied, me?
Tell Pharaoh?
[F] Who am I?
I can't even [C] talk.
I've got a stuttering problem.
[G] Moses was too close to the mirror to see what God saw in him [C] because God [Am] saw that he could
accomplish the [Dm] task in which he did.
[D] So this song is simply [C] a reflection of all of the [Am] people in life that have [Dm] different
struggles and [Am] aspirations and ambitions.
And a lot of [Ab] times they are afraid [Am] to move out, [Ab] to lunge out in the deep and [Am] depend and
trust on God.
[Bb] And that is the essence of Too Close to the Mirror.
_ _ _ _ _ Yes, I'm too close to the mirror [Eb] to see what [Bb] you see.
While you shower down your blessings, [C] your blessings [F] on me.
[Bb] Not anything I've done, Lord, [Eb] as far as I [Cm] can see.
[Bb] Yes, I'm too close to the mirror [Eb] to see what you see [Bb] in me.
Sometimes I think about the things [Eb] you have [Bb] done for me.
How you washed away all my sins, [Eb] set my [Bb] spirit free.
Then I look back on my life, [Eb] I haven't [Bb] always done right.
Still your goodness and mercy [Eb] follows me every [Bb] day of my life.
I believe I'm too close to the mirror [Eb] to see what [Bb] you see.
While you shower down your blessings, [C] your blessings [F] on me.
[Bb] Not anything I've done, [Eb] Lord, as far as I [Cm] can see.
[Bb] Yes, I'm too close to the mirror [Eb] to see what you see in me.
When I thought about giving up, [Eb] you said [Bb] trust in me.
If you hold on and faint now, [Eb] keep your [Bb] faith in me.
Lord, you don't see me like I [Eb] am.
You see me like I'm [Bb] gonna be.
So I believe I'll run on [Eb] to see what the [Bb] end's gonna be.
Hallelujah, I'm too close to the mirror [Eb] to see what [Bb] you see.
While you shower down your blessings, [C] your blessings [F] on me.
[Bb] Not anything I've done, Lord, [Eb] as far as I [Cm] can see.
[Bb] Yes, I'm too close to the mirror [Eb] to see what you see [Bb] in me.
Too close to the mirror to see what you see.
While you shower down your blessings, your blessings [Eb] on me.
You don't understand.
Not anything [F] I've done, Lord, as far as I can see.
Yes, I'm too close to the mirror to see what you see in me.
Hallelujah, [Bb] I'm too close to the mirror [Eb] to see what [Bb] you see.
While you shower down your blessings, [C] your blessings [F] on me.
You don't [Bb] understand.
Not anything I've done, Lord, [Eb] as far as I [Cm] can see.
[Bb] Yes, I'm too close to the mirror, too close to the mirror.
Too close to the mirror [Cm] to see what you [Eb] see [Bb] in me. _
