From the moment I first heard this song, it made a huge impact on me. With its simple, beautiful lyrics, it reminded me of all the things about my faith that I held dear. This song has always been a personal favourite of mine. It reminds me of the price that the Lord paid for me, how he humbled himself and sacrificed his life for me, a sinner, someone who couldn’t be worthy of his unconditional love and mercy.
This song reminds how amazing it is that when Jesus died, he was thinking of me.
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.
- "Above All" - Michael W. Smith
