Above All Else

(album: Friends For Life - 1987)

So much to say
And just a lifetime left to say it
How quickly time passes

If I had my way
I'd keep you safe within my arms
While the storm of life crashes

I won't always be with you, my child
But words I can give
When the winds of hope are dying down
These words will live

Above all else
Know God's the one who'll never leave you
Look to Him
Above all else

He is love you can depend upon
A heart set to care
If in the darkest night you should be lost
He will be there

I won't always be with you, my child
But words I can give
And when the winds of hope are dying down
These words will live

Above all else
Know God is good and you can trust Him
Look to Him
Above all else

He's the everlasting Father
In His hands you'll never fall
He's the one who holds it all
Above all else

He's the author of your laughter
He's the keeper of your tears
He's the one who you must fear
Above all else

He's the giver of the kingdom
Bought for you right from the start
And He'll ask you for your heart
Above all else

So much to say
And not enough time left to say it
Just love the Lord
Above all else
