above everything else

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
