The song talks about God's greatness being above anything man can imagine, and yet, above all else, God remembered us, dying for us.
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones.
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth.
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified, laid behind the 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
