Measure of a Man

I bumped into this TOTALLY AWESOME song recently man...It's an 11 year-old song but it still speaks VOLUMES on what actually makes me, ME :D Enjoy the song man! :)



MEASURE OF A MAN
4Him                     Key: C
Christian Contemporary

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 THE CHARTS
AND THEN BACK IT UP WITH SCIENTIFIC SMARTS
BUT THERE'S MORE TO WHAT YOU'RE WORTH
THAT THEIR HUMAN EYES CAN’T SEE

Chorus:
OH, I SAY THE MEASURE OF A MAN
IS NOT HOW TALL YOU STAND
HOW WEALTHY OR INTELLIGENT YOU ARE
'COS 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

Bridge:
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 hope this song encourages you when people around you judge you by THEIR standards, not GOD'S STANDARD. :)
 
However, don't use this song to right your wrongs...Evaluate what people say about you and change accordingly...But when they heave their unreasonable expectations and judge you heavily, let this song encourage your heart :)
 
God Bless :D
