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 but their human eyes can't 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, 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 the measure of a man, oh yeah yeah

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

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 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
He looks to the bottom of your heart and what's in the heart defines
Yeah, what's in the heart defines
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
