The Measure of a Man
(Mark Harris, Don Koch, Stephanie Lewis)
as sung by 4Him
This world can analyze and size you up
And throw you on the scales.
They can IQ you and run you through
Their rigorous details
They can do their best to rate you
And they'll place you on their charts
And then back it up with scientific smarts
But there's more to what you're worth
Than what their human eyes can see.
(chorus)
Oh I say the measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand
How wealthy or intelligent you are
'Cause I found the measure of a man
God knows and understands
For He looks inside to the bottom of your heart
And what's in the heart defines
The measure of a man.
Well you can doubt your worth
And search for who you are and where you stand
But God made you in His image
When he formed you in His hands
And He looks at you with mercy
And He sees you through His love
You're His Child and that will always be enough.
For there's more to what you're worth
Than you could ever comprehend.
(chorus)
You can spend your life pursuing physical perfection
There is so much more, more than ever meets the eye
For God looks through the surface
And he defines your worth by what is on the inside.
(chorus)
