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 is no way to measure what You're worth.
(Chorus)
Crucified, laid behind the 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 twice
Like a rose
trampled on the ground
You took the fall
and thought of me Above all
