Weihnachtslieder-Medley 4: O du fröhliche / Maria durch ein Dornwald ging / Es ist ein Ros entsprungen / Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her

歌詞

To live a love that never fails Love my neighbor as myself And to give till there is nothing left to give To live a faith that never dies To be crucified with Christ Until all that lives through me is the message 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 the human eyes can see Oh 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 he 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 your worth Than you could ever comprehend Oh 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 understands and looks to the bottom of your heart And what's in the heart defines the measure of a man From the time, time began You always chose a man To lead the people safely by your way To be a voice and echo what you say Like David or Abraham Your word is full of such men And if the Bible had no closing page And still was being written to this day I want to be a man That you would write about Oh a thousand years from now That they could read about Your servant of choice in whom You found favor A man who heard Your voice I want to be a man That you would write about Oh a thousand years from now That they could read about Your servant of choice in whom You found favor A man who heard Your voice A man who heard Your voice They say that into every life Some rain must fall For the pain is no respecter Of the mighty or the small But sometimes it just seems so unfair To see the one who's had More than his share Oh it makes you wonder why And Lord I wouldn't second guess Your mighty plan For I know You have a purpose That's beyond the scope of man If You look inside my heart You will find That I have always been the trusting kind Oh but still I wonder Why Do the rainy days have to come When the storm clouds hide the sun I wanna know why Why When the reasons aren't clear to me When it all is a mystery I want to know why And though down here I may not understand I won't let go of the unseen hand Oh no, for it holds the reasons why When the reasons aren't clear to me When it all is a mystery I want to know why And though down here I may not understand I won't let go of the unseen hand Oh no, for it holds the reasons why The fields are white and now the time has come For there's a harvest, there is work left to be done Lord here am I, and I will be the one I'm committed to the finish Until the setting of the sun Lord, I will be faithful in all I say and do To live a love that never fails Love my neighbor as myself And to give til there is nothing left to give To live a faith that never dies To be crucified with Christ Until all that lives through me Is the message I can't ignore what's right before my eyes For all around this world is searching for a sign Outside the door they're living in the night And the light that lives within me Is the hope they long to find So I must be faithful in all I say and do To live a love that never fails Love my neighbor as myself And to give til there is nothing left to give To live a faith that never dies To be crucified with Christ Until all that lives through me Is the message Is the message All that lives through me is the message Is the message
