You ask me what you're worth -
I tell you -
Look upon my hands
For scars that are there say more than words ever can
You ask me what you're worth -
I tell you -
Look upon my head
For wounds that speak -I love you - is all that need be said
You ask me what you're worth -
I tell you -
Look upon my side
For a sword was thrust, blood and water flowed so in me you could confide
You ask me what you're worth -
I tell you -
Look into my eyes
For all the love I feel for you I admit I can't deny
You see- before the world was framed I knew you
I smiled when I looked upon your face
A beautiful little girl with eyes like mine, so full of love and grace
A smile that lit a dreary room - tears to reveal a tender heart
I knew I would pay any price so we would never be apart
I knew I could not live without you so I sought a way to you
And believe me daughter to win your heart there is nothing I did not do
Why do all this you ask me - why suffer so much pain?
Don't you know you are worth more to me than any riches I attain?
You are of great value, for I created you and formed you with my hand
And then I placed in you a desire to know me and seek my wondrous plan
You have great worth my daughter, a high price was paid for you
For the enemy came looking and asked what I would do
How much would you pay? What is she worth? The enemy at last did cry.
This is how much, how much she is worth-
I stretched out my arms and died.
Jesus
Hebrews 12:2
2looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Psalm 139
