Paul Baloche's song 'Above All' exalts the supremacy of Jesus Christ over all creation, powers, and earthly treasures. It reflects on His preexistence and worth beyond measure. The lyrics then focus on the crucifixion, describing Jesus as rejected and alone, yet willingly taking the fall for humanity. The imagery of a rose trampled on the ground emphasizes His sacrificial love. The song culminates in the personal realization that Christ thought of each individual above all else. It is a worshipful meditation on the majesty and sacrifice of Jesus.
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 You thought of me
Above all
