Above It All
Written for Hope Meyer and Kevin Yeung, for their wedding
1 Corinthians 16:13-14, Colossians 3:12-14
I see a city, I see a city,
Everyone is all around,
All the lights, all the lights are on and everyone is out on the town
I see a hand holding a hand, and I,
I see a glow from the skies
CHORUS
Above it all there is love, there is love, there is love
Whoah, above it all
There is love, there is love, there is love
Cast your eyes up to the skies above
Do everything in love, in love, in love
Be courageous, stand firm now
Everyone is sending you in love
I see a field, I see a field with all your family, all your family,
In the air all the words you know are new
Stirring with the birds’ song in the trees
While the wind carries them along
CHORUS
You are, you are kind,
You are, you are faithful
You are, you are dearly loved
You are, you are humble
You are, you are patient
You are, you are clothed in love
Above it all, you are loved, you are loved, you are loved
Above it all, you are loved, you are loved, you are loved
Cast your eyes up, you are dearly loved
Do everything as one in love, in love, in love
Be courageous, you are stronger now
Everyone is sending you in love
