If you feel like you can’t measure up to the stranger down the road

Just do your best, be your best, let God carry the load

The biggest critic that we have to fear

Is the person looking at us in the mirror

We don’t know others story and they don’t know ours

It is not about all the stuff, fancy houses, fancy cars

It is not about how eloquent our meals may be

Just that we are fed and not left hungry

God will supply all of our need

Loving God is what it means to succeed

Often, we think that someone is doing it so right

While we’re just hanging on trying to win our fight

It is much easier to assume, than to know what is true

Don’t always assume that others are better off than you

For some things are not always what they appear

Sometimes assumptions can make the truth not clear

Everyone has a battle every now and then

God is what it takes to surely win

God will always supply all of our need

For loving God is what it takes to succeed

If we focus on the blessing and not the stranger down the road

We can see so clearly, how God carried the load

When we measure our worth in God, not to worldliness

We can see all the ways that we’ve been blessed

So instead of comparing, may we praise His holy name

Who says we measure up and He loves us all the same

The question is do we love Him, or would we rather compare

As our God always loves us and He is always meets us here

2 Corinthians 10:12 NIV

We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.

Galatians 6:4,5 NIV

Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.

Romans 5:8 NIV

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
