How Much Do You Think You Are Worth?

Is a rich man worth more than a poor man?

A stranger worth less than a friend?

Is a baby worth more than an old man?

Your beginning worth more than your end?

Is a president worth more than his assassin?

Does your value decrease with your crime?

Like when Christ took the place of Barabbas

Would you say he was wasting his time?

Well

how much do you think you are worth

boy?

Will anyone stand up and say?

Would you say that a man is worth nothing

Until someone is willing to pay?

I suppose that you think you matter

Well

how much do you matter to whom?

It's much easier at night when with friends and bright lights

Than much later alone in your room

Do you think they'll miss one in a billion

When you finish this old human race?

Does it really make much of a difference

When your friends have forgotten your face?

If you heard that your life had been valued

That a price had been paid on the nail

Would you ask what was traded

How much and who paid it

Who was He and what was His name?

If you heard that His name was called Jesus

Would you say that the price was too dear?

Held to the cross not by nails but by love

It was you broke His heart

not the spear!

Would you say you are worth what it cost Him?

You say 'no'

but the price stays the same.

If it don't make you cry

laugh it off

pass Him by

But just remember the day when you throw it away

That He paid what He thought you were worth.

How much do you think He is worth

boy?

Will anyone stand up and say?

Tell me

what are you willing to give Him

In return for the price that He paid?
