How do you measure a little girl's worth, When all her charm on you is unfurled?
You either see her through the eyes of God Or through the eyes of the world.
The world shouts, "She must have her freedom, Liberation - her true destiny."
But God says, "Child, when you seek my truth, Then you'll know what it is to be free."
The world cries, "Don't thwart her psyche,Let her decisions be hers from the start."
God says, "Train her, which way she should go And from Me she'll never depart."
The world would like always for her to think of success as her foremost goal,
But God says, "Love me and each other, With all your body, mind, and soul."
The world teaches, "Do just what you want Regardless of who gave you birth."
A girl is truly a gift of God's grace To be all that He's called her to be.
We must lead and guide this life in the nowFor she's part of eternity.
Charming manners can be so deceptive And outward beauty is all so vain,
But a woman with fear and reverence for God His blessings with her will remain.
A divine blueprint is stamped upon her, Teach her to read it carefully.
For a little girl is what God will use To make a virtuous lady!
