Above All Things Songtext
von Phil Keaggy

I have taken you in my arms,
I prefer you to my life itself,
For I love you, I love you.

And my most ardent dream is
To spend my days in such a way
To be near you, to be near you.

And this present life is nothing,
Without knowing that we′re loving,
I am here to live for you,
Yes here to live with you.
For I love you.

I have taken you in my heart,
I prefer you to all else
Because I love you.

And together we in prayer
Beseech the blessing
We will share, I love you.


I place your love above all things,
Nothing would be more bitter to me
Than to be of a different mind than you,
Than to be of a different mind.

I place your love above all things,
Nothing would be more painful to me
Than to be of a different heart than you,
Than to be of a different heart.
I love you.

And this present life is nothing,
Without knowing that we're loving,
I am here to live for you, here to live with you.
For I love you. I love you.

I place your love above all things,
Nothing would be more bitter to me
Than to be of a different mind than you,
Than to be of a different mind.

I place your love above all things,
Nothing would be more painful to me
Than to be of a different heart than you,
Than to be of a different heart.
