Early this morning my heart was deeply affected by my advancing years and relatively fruitless life. By the condition of my family, unanswered prayers, and "so far" unfulfilled promises by the God I love. In this time of soul searching, God met with me and in many ways comforted and reassured me of his great love for me. This little song contributed to one of the most significant times of praise I ever entered into. Especially these lyrics:
[He is] 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
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
Above Everything Else
You rule over distant seas
And every part of me
You raise the day from
Night and the song inside
Of me, You watch 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 the waves
Obey, yet you whisper
Peace to me, You hold the
Skys in place and my past
And destiny, You reign
Over war torn lands, over
Famine, fear and kings
You rule over distant seas
And every part of me
You raise the day from
Night and the song inside
Of me, You watch 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 the waves
Obey, yet you whisper
Peace to me, You hold the
Skys in place and my past
And destiny, You reign
Over war torn lands, over
Famine, fear and kings
