Don’t Look at My Height

Lyrics

Title 1: Don’t Look at My Height
Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:6–7

[Verse 1]
They look at my fit, shoes and chains,
Judge my worth by the brand on my name.
Scrollin’ my pics, tryna rate my life,
But they can’t see the war and the fight.
Samuel saw Eliab, tall, real strong,
Thought, “Surely this the king all along.”
But the Lord said, “Nah, you watchin’ wrong,
I don’t choose kings by the flex or the brawn.”

[Pre-Chorus]
You see drip, God see broken,
You see height, God see tokens
Of every tear I cried at night,
He choose hearts, not just the sight.

[Chorus – Youth Choir]
Don’t look at my height, look at my heart,
1 Samuel sixteen, that’s where it start.
Man see the outside, God see inside,
He know the secret battles I hide.
You judge my image, He judge my soul,
That’s why His choice don’t match your poll.
Don’t look at my height, look at my heart,
He picked the shepherd while you picked the star.

[Verse 2]
They said I’m too hood, said I’m too shy,
Too dark, too weird, not your type of guy.
But the God who watched me alone with the sheep
Is the same One callin’ me out from the deep.
He skipped over all y’all tall, strong brothers,
Went to the field, pulled out the youngest.
If He did it for David in Jesse’s yard,
He can do it for a kid that the world discard.

[Bridge – Call & Response]
Leader: What you see?
Choir: Hoodie and jeans.
Leader: What He see?
Choir: Purpose and dreams.
Leader: What you see?
Choir: Just another kid.
Leader: What He see?
Choir: Everything He hid.

[Vamp]
Choir: Don’t count me out, He counted me in,
Leader: Heart over height, that’s how He win.
Choir: Don’t rate my crown by the way I look,
Leader: God chose kings you never would’ve booked.
