The Measure of a Man
This world can analyze and size you up
And throw you on the scales
They can I.Q. 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
Oh, I say the measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand
How wealthy or intelligent you are
'Cause I've found out 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
(What's in the heart, what's in the heart)
The measure of a man
Oh, yeah, yeah
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
Oh, I say the measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand
How wealthy or intelligent you are
'Cause I've found out 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
(What's in the heart, what's in the heart)
The measure of a man
Oh, yeah, yeah
You can spend your life
Pursuing physical perfection
But there is so much more
More than ever meets the eye
(Physical perfection)
For God looks through the surface
And He defines your worth
By what is on the inside
I say the measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand
How wealthy or intelligent you are
'Cause I've found out 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
Oh, I say the measure of
The measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand
How wealthy or intelligent you are
Oh, I've 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
(What's in the heart, what's in the heart)
Yeah, what's in the heart defines
(What's in the heart, what's in the heart)
Yeah, what's in the heart defines
The measure of a man
Oh, yeah, yeah
I know, I know, I know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
