Rend Collective's song "Above Everything Else" is a worship anthem that exalts Jesus as supreme over all creation and personal circumstances. The lyrics describe God's sovereignty over the seas, planets, and human life, while also emphasizing His intimate care, such as whispering peace and holding one's past and destiny. The song contrasts God's greatness with earthly treasures like health, friendship, and fame, declaring Him more precious and necessary. It acknowledges God's power over war, famine, and fear, and proclaims King Jesus as victorious. The overall message is one of awe, trust, and surrender to God's unmatched authority and love.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You rule over distant seas over every part of me
You raise the day from night and the song inside of me
You watch all the planets spin and my eyelids flickering
Beyond everything else You are, You are
Above everything else You are
Greater than life itself
More precious than perfect health
Finer than friendship or romance
More needed than oxygen
More pleasing than thrill or fame
Stronger than death or gravity
You speak and the waves obey, but You whisper peace to me
You hold the skies in their place and my past and destiny
You reign over war-torn lands, over famine, fear and kings
King Jesus You are victorious, You are
King Jesus You are victorious
