the measure of a man

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 their human eyes can see

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 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 you're worth
Than you could ever comprehend

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

caving in

my world is caving in
each second you're absence is felt
i'm shut away in a glass enclousure
so i can't tell you how cold it is right here

happiness is a long word
but sadly, it's lifspan is short
to live and die at the end of each day
is yet another chore for me

when will i have direction
to end my own abjection
and live each day once more
like i ever did before

time never waits
for the very instance of waiting
is time in it itself
please give me time to know you
to fully live the life that was
meant to be ours
me and you in Life itself

for the greatest sadness in life itself
is not having any recollection
of intances of you
at all
