"High above All Things"
Verse 1
Give me a passion
To see your glory
A heart that worships you alone
Cleanse me forgive me
For my self-seeking
That I might see to make you known
I want to serve You
I want to please You
My one desire is to
Chorus
See the name of Jesus
Lifted high above all things
And the knowledge of your glory
Fill the earth
To see the name of Jesus
Lifted high above all things
And a fragrant offering
Ascending to the king in every place
Verse 2
Your heart your passion
To give all nations
Gladness and joy in Jesus Christ
Rivers of blessing
Mercy and kindness
Purchased by your great sacrifice
So we join our voices
To sing your praises
Our one desire is to….
The other day I was listening to the song above and I found my self crying out to God as I realized how often I fail to lift my savior “high above all things” when it comes to evangelizing and living out my convictions. If that is a struggle for me how then can I lift God “high above all things”? Undeservingly Gods grace is always there and I can repent for my fear of man and lack of fear in God. What a beautiful and glorious Savior I serve to do that for me!
“Titus 2:11-12- For the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled upright and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Father I pray that you would reign in my heart and let my soul be satisfied in you alone and nothing in this world. I want to serve you, I want to please you, my one desire it to see Your Holy name lifted “high above all things.”

Good post Candace. Sometimes I really struggle with reading and singing the words "My one desire is to see the name of Jesus lifted high above all things." Mostly because I don't think that it is true of me. Very rarely is it ever my ONE desire to lift Jesus on high for His glory. Usually that desire is conflicting with a 100 others, and at the top, glory for myself. How do I reconcile singing these words with heartfelt praise if they are not true of my life. In the end I find myself asking that God make it "my one desire" to praise Him by His grace, because I know that it won't happen on my own. Thank you for these words Candace. Very timely.
Your post reminded me of something I read in Valley of Vision the other day about not comending ourselves, because who wants to commend there own (pile of dirt) in essence. God is the only worthy thing worth commending. Thanks for your humble example of doing that.
