Above All

Song Meaning

Superlatives pile up from the first line of "Above All": above powers, kings, nature, "all the ways of man," thrones, wonders and wealth. Lenny LeBlanc grounds the claim that Jesus "was here before the world began," and the second verse concludes that "there's no way to measure what You're worth."

Then the song drops from the throne to the grave. "Crucified laid behind a stone / You lived to die rejected and alone" is the sharpest turn, and the image that follows, "Like a rose trampled on the ground," makes the humiliation tender instead of triumphant. The singer's own place in the story arrives in one short line: "You took the fall and thought of me."

Each pass through the chorus lands on the same two words, "Above all," so the cross becomes the proof of supremacy rather than a contradiction of it. That mirrors Paul's picture of the one who is before all things, despised by people, and then given the name above every name. The final repeats slow down and leave the rose image hanging.

Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure what You’re worth

Crucified laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all
Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure what You’re worth

Crucified laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Oh, You were
Crucified laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all
