Above All

GOD IS ABOVE ALL POWERS AND ALL KINGS.
Psalm 95:3 says, “For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods.” From the beginning of time there has not ben a leader or a king who has even come close to affecting the world in the way that Jesus Christ has. Two thousand years after His death, burial, and resurrection, the lives of millions of people continue to be transformed as they receive His love and foriveness.

HE IS ABOVE ALL NATURE AND ALL CREATED THINGS.
In the first chapter of Romans, Paul talks about how God has revelaed His eternal power and divine nature through the beauty of His creation, and so man has no excuse for not acknowledging Him.

HE IS ABOVE ALL WISDOM AND ALL THE WAYS OF MAN.
The scriptures are many that say God’s wisdom is greater and His ways are higher than ours.

HE IS ABOVE ALL KINGDOMS, ABOVE ALL THRONES.
Our Lord’s Kingdom is not of this world, but as His children we’ve been iven a deposit of His heavenly Kingdom here on earth.

HE IS ABOVE ALL WONDERS THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.
Most of us have never actually seen the Lord in the natural but we’ve all witnessed His grace and mercy, both personally and through each other. That kind of beauty far surpasses anything I’ve ever laid eyes on or experienced.

HE IS ABOVE ALL TREASURES OF THE EARTH.
Many people live their whole lives trying to gain wealth and fame, hoping that they will be fulfilled, when all the while the One who can quench their endless thirst and hunger stands waiting with arms open wide. His undying love is the most precious jewel of all.

THERE’S NO WAY TO MEASURE WHAT YOU’RE WORTH.
There is simply no unit of measurement we could use to calculate the worth of our Lord. How can you even begin to asses the value of the One who spoke the universe into existence?

CRUCIFIED, LAID BEHIND THE STONE.
It seems like after all that’s been said about His worth and His supremacy, we should now say He is worthy, holy, and so majestic. But wait. Look at what our Lord allowed to happen.

YOU LIVE TO DIE, REJECTED AND ALONE.
Jesus’ sole purpose was to do the will of the Father, even to the point of dying and being rejected by the ones He came to see.

LIKE A ROSE TRAMPLED ON THE GROUND.
Those seven words only begin to portray how something so pure and beautiful could be so crudely discarded by the very ones to whom the gift was given.

YOU TOOK THE FALL AND THOUGHT OF ME ABOVE ALL.
Oh Father in heaven, how great is Your love for us, that You would give the dearest thing to Your heart as a sacrifice for the sin of mankind that we might know You and have relationship with You. Help us, Lord, to somehow understand the weight of what You did for us. May we surrender our hearts and forever place You … Above all.
