4Him - Medley lyrics

rate me

To live a love that never fails<br />

Love my neighbor as myself<br />

And to give till there is nothing left to give<br />

To live a faith that never dies<br />

To be crucified with Christ<br />

Until all that lives through me is the message<br />

<br />

This world can analyze and size you up<br />

And throw you on the scales<br />

They can IQ you and run you through their rigorous details<br />

They can do their best to rate you<br />

And they'll place you on their charts<br />

And then back it up with scientific smarts<br />

But there's more to what your worth<br />

Than what the human eyes can see<br />

<br />

Oh I say the measure of a man<br />

Is not how tall you stand<br />

How wealthy or intelligent you are<br />

Cause I found out the measure of a man<br />

God knows and he understands<br />

For he looks inside to the bottom of your heart<br />

And what's in the heart defines the measure of a man<br />

<br />

Well you can doubt your worth<br />

And search for who you are and where you stand<br />

But God made you in his image<br />

When he formed you in his hands<br />

And he looks at you with mercy<br />

And he sees you through his love<br />

You're his child and that will always be enough<br />

For there's more to what your worth<br />

Than you could ever comprehend<br />

<br />

Oh I say the measure of a man<br />

Is not how tall you stand<br />

How wealthy or intelligent you are<br />

Cause I found out the measure of a man<br />

God knows understands and looks to the bottom of your heart<br />

And what's in the heart defines the measure of a man<br />

<br />

From the time, time began <br />

You always chose a man<br />

To lead the people safely by your way<br />

To be a voice and echo what you say<br />

Like David or Abraham<br />

Your word is full of such men<br />

And if the Bible had no closing page<br />

And still was being written to this day<br />

<br />

I want to be a man <br />

That you would write about<br />

Oh a thousand years from now<br />

That they could read about<br />

Your servant of choice in whom<br />

You found favor<br />

A man who heard Your voice<br />

<br />

I want to be a man <br />

That you would write about<br />

Oh a thousand years from now <br />

That they could read about<br />

Your servant of choice in whom<br />

You found favor<br />

A man who heard Your voice<br />

A man who heard Your voice<br />

<br />

They say that into every life<br />

Some rain must fall<br />

For the pain is no respecter<br />

Of the mighty or the small<br />

But sometimes it just seems so unfair<br />

To see the one who's had<br />

More than his share<br />

Oh it makes you wonder why<br />

<br />

And Lord I wouldn't second guess<br />

Your mighty plan<br />

For I know You have a purpose<br />

That's beyond the scope of man<br />

If You look inside my heart You will find<br />

That I have always been the trusting kind<br />

<br />

Oh but still I wonder Why<br />

Do the rainy days have to come<br />

When the storm clouds hide the sun<br />

I wanna know why<br />

Why<br />

When the reasons aren't clear to me<br />

When it all is a mystery I want to know why<br />

And though down here I may not understand<br />
