“Above all” is a beautiful Christian song written by Paul Baloche and Lenny LeBlanc in 1995 and has been performed by different singers including Michael W. Smith, Steve Green and Aline Barros. Without a doubt, this is an incredible song that tells us about the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is above all power and law, and over anything created.
This song has been sung for many years in churches around the world, becoming a hymn of worship that exalts the sovereignty of Christ. Its simple but profound lyrics remind us that Jesus is not limited by time, governments, human authorities, or any earthly system. He is above kings, kingdoms, philosophies, and ideologies, reigning with absolute authority over heaven and earth.
Oh beloved brothers, nothing can be compared to our God over everything created, over everything beautiful, over the entire galaxy, since He and only He is powerful, great and majestic. Let us give glory to God, for Christ died for us, allowing himself to be trampled on to help us.
When the song declares that Jesus lived and died rejected and alone, it leads us to reflect deeply on the sacrifice of the cross. Christ, being above all, chose humility. He chose to come down to our level, to take our place, and to suffer for our sins. This is one of the greatest mysteries of the Gospel: the King of glory willingly laid down His life out of love for humanity.
The message of this song aligns perfectly with the biblical truth that Christ existed before all things and that everything was created through Him and for Him. His sacrifice was not accidental or forced; it was part of God’s perfect plan of redemption. By His death and resurrection, Jesus demonstrated that His authority goes beyond death itself.
Perhaps you have already heard this song in English, but this time we want to share something different with you, and it is the song “above all” in Hebrew, Arabic and English sung in Jerusalem. We hope you find it a blessing and leave us in the comments what you think:
Listening to this song in different languages is a powerful reminder that worship transcends culture, language, and nationality. Singing in Hebrew and Arabic, languages deeply connected to biblical history and the lands where Jesus walked, gives this version a special meaning. It shows us that Christ is Lord not only of one people or nation, but of all creation.
Jerusalem, a city full of spiritual significance, becomes the perfect setting for this worship. From this place, where so many biblical events occurred, the name of Jesus is exalted above all once again. This reminds us that the Gospel is for all nations and that every tongue will one day confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
May this song encourage us to place Christ above all areas of our lives: above our worries, above our plans, above our fears, and above our successes. Let us live daily recognizing His lordship, worshiping Him not only with our voices but also with our obedience and faith.
This worship experience also invites us to meditate on how often we place other things above Christ in our daily lives. Sometimes work, worries, goals, or even ministry itself can take the place that belongs only to Him. Songs like “Above All” gently call us back to the center, reminding us that Jesus must remain first, not only in our words of worship but in our decisions, priorities, and way of living.
As we listen and worship along, let our hearts be aligned with this truth: Christ is above all circumstances, above every trial, and above every limitation we may face. When we acknowledge His supremacy, our faith is strengthened and our hope renewed, knowing that the One who reigns above all things is the same One who lovingly watches over our lives.
