ABOVE ALL ELSE

I just wanted to share the lyrics to a special song. It was written by Stormie Omartian and sung by Debbie Boone expressing her thoughts toward her children. The lyrics are dear to me and I hope will touch your heart as well.

"So much to say and just a lifetime 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.
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."
