MIDI Link: Measure of a Man
The measure of a man is not the distance from his head down to the ground;
It isn't found in what he cannot do, or what he can,
But every day, the acts of kindness shown where God alone can see,
This is the quality that makes the measure of a man.
A godly woman's worth is not the perfect health or worldly wealth she holds;
It isn't told in terms of treasures here on earth,
Requests that she will dare to lift in prayer before her Heavenly King,
This is the kind of thing that proves a godly woman's worth.
The value of a home is not the finery or furnishings so rare;
You can't compare it by the cost of house and land alone;
The lives it touches mean so much more than the price the owner pays,
This is the way by which is known the value of a home.
This is the way by which is known the value of a home.
