Worth


Worth
What we all desire
Relative
One man's trash
Is another man's treasure

The world tells me
To measure worth
With beauty
With money
With success

This became my own
Way to measure
And a reason to hate
And a reason to give up
At reaching
What I called
Worth

But there is a King
There is a Father
Who has given me
A new worth
Worth His blood
The blood of a King
