2. ABOVE ALL
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man, You were here before the world began.
Above all kingdom, 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
3. EVERYTHING
Everything, Everything, Lord, You are everything to me. (Repeat)
My treasure, my priority, who can compare to You.
Great is the measure of your royalty
Oh, morning star You truly are everything

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. JOHN 14;27
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ROMANS 15:13
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed; always bearing about in our body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 CORINTHIANS 4:8-18
And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4;7
