A single thread in a tapestry, though it's brightly shines
Can never see it's purpose in the pattern of the grand design
And the stone that sits on the very top of the mountains mighty face
Does it think it's more important than the stones that form the base?
So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life, look at your life through Heaven's eyes
A lake of gold in the desert sand is less than a cool fresh spring
And to one lost sheep a sheppard boy is greater than the richest King
If a man lose every thing he owns has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning of a new and brighter birth
So how do you measure the worth of a man in wealth or strength or size?
In how much he gained, or how much he gave?
The answer will come, the answer will come to him who tries
To look at his life through Heaven's eyes
And that's why we share what we have with you
Though there's little to be found
When all you've got is nothing, there's a lot to go around
Though life can escape and be blown about by the winds of change and chance
And though you'll never know all the steps
You must learn to join the dance
You must learn to join the dance
So how do you judge what a man is worth
By what he builds or buys
You can never see with your eyes on Earth
Look through Heaven's eyes
Look at your life
Look at your life, look at your life through Heaven's eyes
