Our Value Comes from Within

Nancie    Norton
Some people think, that their value isn't enough
Because they don't have money, and material stuff

The world today, has such a distorted view
About what is best, for me and you

Some try to convince us, that clothes make the man
And that accomplishments, and value go hand in hand

But I've got news, for those false advertizers
Our Father God gives us info, that is so much wiser

He tells us it has nothing to do with what is done or said
Our value has to do, with what's in our head

He says it doesn't matter, how many great projects we start
Because our value has to do, with what's in our heart

And our value isn't linked to people we know or places we've gone
It has to do with our Faith in him, and what we have at home.
