Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began
Above all kingdoms
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
y o u t o o k t h e f a l l
And thought of me
Above all
Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began
Above all kingdoms
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
y o u t o o k t h e f a l l
And thought of me
Above all
Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began.
Remember when you used to sing those words and believe in them with all of your heart?
Remember when you had a burning passion for something unconquerable and gave thanks for your broken heart? Remember when your cure to loneliness was just a prayer away and you had unmeasurable strength to help you fight your battles?
Remember when your happiness didn't depend on something you could lose?
In the depths of everyone's hearts is a place that they consider home for them.
It's that place they run to when things get hectic and even scary.
For me, my home is a place in my heart that I often don't remember, sometimes, I even try to forget about. But this is the place that in complete utter darkness... shines at the end of the tunnel. This is the place i'm constantly running towards, yearning to be a little closer to. The place that breaks you open and reminds you of who you are..
I know some people are hesitant of the idea of Religion,
and you know... I'm strong enough to say good for them.
You should question it,
you should rip it apart and see what it's made of,
explore it, ignore it, whatever...
That's what I did, and now..
...I'm telling you, my relationship with God has saved my life more than once.
I am more sure than ever that this is what's right for me.
I have never felt more emotionally involved with anything in my life,
I have never felt more in touch with my heart and what I wanted for myself.
It's more than going to church on Sunday or reading your bible every other night,
it's a relationship filled with love, grace, hope, and a future.
It's a safe place you can always count on, it will always be yours.
I t w a s m a d e f o r y o u.
This is the the place I call home.
Lately I have felt so lost,
like i'm living someone else's completely different life.
My life without God doesn't feel like life at all,
it feels numb and emotionless.
I have spent the last few years going new places,
meeting new people and doing different things... experiencing college...
It's not a bad thing, that's what this time in our life is for.
It's to make mistakes and to learn from them,
it's about opening your mind to every idea, every experience, every decision,
in hopes that one day you may know exactly what you want.
It's about having everything, and then losing it.
It's about putting your heart back together, making it stronger every time.
It's about seeing what you're really made of.
This time in our life is for us to decide where we want to call home.
