How Much Are You Worth?

Author Unknown

How Much do you think that you matter?
Is a rich man worth more than a poor man?
Is a stranger worth more than a friend?
Is a baby worth more than an old man?
Is your beginning worth more than your end?
Is a martyr worth more than his assassin?
Does your value decrease with a crime?
Like when Christ took the place of the murderer
would you say that he was wasting his time?

I suppose you think you matter
well how much do you matter and to whom?
Is it much easier at night
when with friends and bright lights
than much later alone in your room.

Well, how much do you think that you worth
will anyone stand up and say
I suppose you think your worth something
but how many are willing to pay?

Suppose your life had been valued
and a price had been paid for you name
would you ask what was traded
how much and who paid it
who he was and from whence he came.

If you heard 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 who broke his heart not the spear.

If it don't make you cry
laugh it off and pass him by
But remember this day
when you throw your life away
that he paid what he thought you were worth.

Well, how much do you think you are worth?
Can anyone stand up and say?
How much are you willing to give him
In return for the price that he paid?
