To live a love that never fails  Love my neighbor as myself  And to give till there is nothing left to give  To live a faith that never dies  To be crucified with Christ  Until all that lives through me is the message    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 your worth  Than what the 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 found out the measure of a man  God knows and he 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 your 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 found out the measure of a man  God knows understands and looks to the bottom of your heart  And what's in the heart defines the measure of a man    From the time, time began   You always chose a man  To lead the people safely by your way  To be a voice and echo what you say  Like David or Abraham  Your word is full of such men  And if the Bible had no closing page  And still was being written to this day    I want to be a man   That you would write about  Oh a thousand years from now  That they could read about  Your servant of choice in whom  You found favor  A man who heard Your voice    I want to be a man   That you would write about  Oh a thousand years from now   That they could read about  Your servant of choice in whom  You found favor  A man who heard Your voice  A man who heard Your voice    They say that into every life  Some rain must fall  For the pain is no respecter  Of the mighty or the small  But sometimes it just seems so unfair  To see the one who's had  More than his share  Oh it makes you wonder why    And Lord I wouldn't second guess  Your mighty plan  For I know You have a purpose  That's beyond the scope of man  If You look inside my heart You will find  That I have always been the trusting kind    Oh but still I wonder Why  Do the rainy days have to come  When the storm clouds hide the sun  I wanna know why  Why  When the reasons aren't clear to me  When it all is a mystery I want to know why  And though down here I may not understand  I won�
