Over the years a number of musicians have recorded the Christian worship song Above All. One of my favorite artists is Randy Travis. You can hear his rendition on YouTube here Above All.
Here are the lyrics to Above All, which I obtained at lyricsmode:
Read through them and tell me if you find something is missing. Comment or Email wil@jonahzsong.com. I’d like to hear from you.
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
[corus]
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 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
[corus]
I am left assuming that the songwriter is talking about Jesus but it never names him by name. Is that what is missing?

My thoughts exactly. YeshuaJesus is the subject, but only pronouns are used to address Him. It’s not the only time YeshuaJesus isn’t mentioned in a work that is so very much about Him. This week was the celebration of Purim, during which the Book of Ester is read. G-d isn’t mentioned in Ester, either. But His handprint is all over it.
Thanks for your comment.
L-RD Bless, Keep, Shine upon you and through you that His Name be exalted throughout the Earth.
