From heaven's throne, You came to us
And set Your heart upon the cross
We'll never know the sacrifice You've made
For all our sin and all our shame
You took the nails, You took our place
No one else could do what You have done
One name is higher
One name is stronger
Than any grave, than any throne
Christ exalted over all
From the grave, where death would die
You rose again and brought us life
You're reigning now, the Saviour of the world
You're reigning now, the Saviour of the world
One name is higher
One name is stronger
Than any grave, than any throne
Christ exalted over all
The only Saviour, Jesus Messiah
To You alone our praise belongs
Christ exalted over all
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise forever
We lift Your name
We lift Your name
Jesus over all
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise forever
We lift Your name
We lift Your name
Jesus over all
One name is higher
One name is stronger
Than any grave, than any throne
Christ exalted over all
The only Saviour, Jesus Messiah
To You alone our praise belongs
Christ exalted over all
To You alone our praise belongs
Christ exalted over all
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise forever
We lift Your name
We lift Your name
Jesus over all
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise forever
We lift Your name
We lift Your name
Jesus over all
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise forever
We lift Your name
We lift Your name
Jesus over all
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise
We'll sing Your praise forever
We lift Your name
We lift Your name
Jesus over all
One name is higher
One name is stronger
Than any grave, than any throne
Christ exalted over all
The only Saviour, Jesus Messiah
To You alone our praise belongs
Christ exalted over all
To You alone our praise belongs
Christ exalted over all
"Exalted Over All" by Vertical Worship is a powerful and uplifting worship song that celebrates the exalted name of Jesus Christ. With its catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics, this song reminds us of the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross and how He now reigns as the Savior of the world.
The song begins by acknowledging the incredible act of love and sacrifice Jesus made when He left His heavenly throne to come to earth and die on the cross for our sins. It speaks of how we will never fully comprehend the extent of His sacrifice and the weight of our sin that He bore on our behalf. The lyrics capture the magnitude of His love and the depth of His grace.
The chorus declares the supremacy of Jesus' name, proclaiming that it is higher and stronger than any grave or throne. This is a powerful statement of faith, reminding us that no matter what challenges or trials we may face, Jesus is above them all. His name holds authority and power over every circumstance, and we can trust in Him to overcome any obstacle we may encounter.
The bridge of the song beautifully expresses the joy and gratitude we have in response to Jesus' victory over death. It speaks of how Jesus rose from the grave, defeating death and bringing us new life. This truth is at the very core of our Christian faith, and it is something worth celebrating and rejoicing over.
The song draws inspiration from several Scripture verses that relate to the theme of Jesus' exaltation. One such verse is Philippians 2:9-11, which says, "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." This verse emphasizes the exalted status of Jesus and the universal acknowledgment of His lordship.
Another verse that aligns with the message of the song is Revelation 5:12-13, which says, "In a loud voice they were saying: 'Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!' Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: 'To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!'" This passage speaks of the exaltation and worship that Jesus receives from all creation, highlighting His supreme authority and worthiness.
"Exalted Over All" is a song that encourages us to lift up the name of Jesus in praise and adoration. It reminds us of His sacrificial love, His victorious resurrection, and His ultimate reign over all. As we sing this song, we are reminded of the hope and joy we have in knowing that Jesus is exalted above every circumstance and that He is the only Savior worthy of our praise.
