Intro: G  C  G

               G                            Dsus4
This world can analyze and size you up and throw you on the scales
          C
They can I.Q. you and run you through
      C          Dsus4
Their rigorous details
          G
They can do their best to rate you
             G               Dsus4
And they'll place you on the charts
         D
And then back it up with scientific smarts
            Em7
But there's more to what you're worth
           G
Than their human eyes can see

    G
Oh, I say the measure of a man
    C
Is not how tall you stand
     C          Dsus4
How wealthy or intelligent you are
            G
'Cause I've found out the measure of a man
      C
God knows and understands
        Dsus4
For He looks inside to the bottom of your heart
    Em7
And what's in the heart defines
    G
The measure of a man

               G                                       Dsus4
Well, you can doubt your worth And search for who you are And where you stand
          C
But God made you in His image
          C               Dsus4
When He formed you in His hands
          G
And He looks at you with mercy
        G                   Dsus4
And He sees you through His love
            D
You're His child and that will always be enough
            Em7
For there's more to what you're worth
                G
Than you could ever comprehend

  Em7
You can spend your life pursuing physical perfection
   Em7
There is so much more
                Dsus4
More than ever meets the eye
      Em7
For God looks through the surface
                                C
And He defines your worth by what is on the inside

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
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
