Lyrics
Your eyes see more
They’re deep in our souls
The soul is treated last in this world
The soul is the cheapest of this world
But You came, Jesus
Holy to die for us
The soul has no worth in this world
The flesh is dressed the best
But Your flesh was torn, from each bone
For us, for us
This body is nothing
You see my soul Jesus
Hmm, hmm
God clothed in flesh
You left Your heavenly rest
You entered our pain
You silenced all the Devil’s claims
Yes, my flesh will rot
My soul is Yours; it’s Yours
Yes, my hair is gray
There’re lines on my face
But I’m Yours, sweet Yours
My eyes will see Your glory
I will feel Your breath on my face
You’ve made Your claim
Write Your new name on me
I’ll live in Your city
I’ll live in Your city
I’ll live in Your city
I’ll live in Your city
Teach me to get them to love You
In this world, for it is nothing
Teach me to take no praise
For it’s by Your grace
The gospel of Jesus Christ
Is the only life
My words shall not boast in
Anything else
Hmm, hmm

Story Behind the Praise
I wrote “A Soul’s Worth after hearing a missionary ask for money. He had set up an elaborate dinner, and as he asked for them to fund his service to bring the gospel to these people, I could hear plates and dishes clanking in the background. If God calls us to go somewhere, then go! We don’t need to see our pockets full before we set out. We will be going on the wrong foot if we do – because only faith pleases the Lord Jesus. Our first love should be to obey the Lord’s call and the souls of others – for the lost – found! Not to our comforts met!
What else will not the Father give us if He’s given us His precious Son’s blood to redeem us? There isn’t anything. This song is about that incredible sacrifice and the reality we need to have in the forefront of our minds every day – we belong to Christ, and our home is not here but in a new city to come. Regardless of that cost, our job is to teach others to love Jesus. We don’t need to see the cash flow first to do so.
“He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32).
