This world can analize 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 the charts

And then back it up with scientific smarts

But there's more to what you're worth

Than 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

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

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

The measure of a man

You can spend your life persuing 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

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 define
