Came here from the Hymnary post. Very good!

My version of this wonderful song by Michael W. Smith by request again.. lyrics below;
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here, before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, laid behind a 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

Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here, before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, laid behind a 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

Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Thank you Jesus
Hallelujah

ABOVE ALL (cover) lyrics included

Jesus, unser Tröster, sagt unsren Herzen:
,,Dir sind deine Sünden vergeben durch mein Blut.''
Dort am Kreuz, die Schuld bezahlt, er nahm uns're Schmerzen.
Wir stehen ewig unter seiner Hut.

Wer zieht uns so nah an sich?
Wer bewahrt uns gnädiglich?
Jesus, der uns Trost zuspricht, ewiglich.

Jesus, unser Tröster, er ruft: ,,Vertraut mir.''
In den dunklen Schluchten, egal was uns geschieht.
Wie die Mutter flüstert er: ,,Ruhig, ich bin bei dir.''
In seinen Armen, meine Zuversicht.

Wer zieht uns so nah an sich?
Wer bewahrt uns gnädiglich?
Jesus, der uns Trost zuspricht, ewiglich.

Jesus, unser Tröster, welch starker Helfer!
Ob die Wellen steigen, ob Feinde weit und breit.
Er beruhigt jeden Sturm, führt uns in die Freiheit.
Hoffnung auf ihn trägt uns für alle Zeit.

Wer zieht uns so nah an sich?
Wer bewahrt uns gnädiglich?
Jesus, der uns Trost zuspricht, ewiglich.

Jesus, unser Tröster

Jesus, our Consoler, hushes our heart's woe,
''Child of God, your sins are forgiven through my blood.''
On the cross, he bore our shame, he assumed our sorrow,
Freed us through love's eternal, endless flood.

Who is there to comprehend one so faithful to defend?
Jesus o'er his flock will tend 'til the end.

Jesus, our Consoler, his voices calls, ''Trust me,''
Even in the darkened ravines of the unknown.
As a mother whispers near, ''I am here beside thee.''
This our assurance, in his arms, our home.

Who is there to comprehend one so faithful to defend?
Jesus o'er his flock will tend 'til the end.

Jesus, our Consoler, how strong our helper,
When the seas are swelling, when enemies are near!
He will quell the tempest still, conquer foe, subdue fear.
Our hope of glory, o, it will appear!

Who is there to comprehend one so faithful to defend?
Jesus o'er his flock will tend 'til the end.

Jesus, Our Consoler

Based off an old hymn by Francis Ridley Havergal, this song is a collaboration with guitarist @Tommaso-Strada. Cover art by Tiffany Diaz.

The theme is of communion with Jesus and recognizing not only His sacrifice on our behalf but of our ongoing relationship with Him. He is the Savior of the lost without whom we would be nothing.

I Could Not Do Without Thee
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I could not do without Thee
O, Savior of the lost 
Whose precious blood redeemed me 
At such tremendous cost 
Thy righteousness, Thy pardon
Thy wondrous love must be 
My only lasting comfort
Hope, glory and my plea

Savior of the lost! 
Savior of the lost! 
My hope abides in Thy sacrifice
O, Savior of the lost! 

I could not do without Thee
I cannot stand alone
I have no strength nor goodness 
Nor wisdom of my own. 
Yet in my darkest hour 
Thy grace is there for me
In weakness or in power
Still I rely on Thee

I could not do without Thee
For no one else can see 
My spirit's hidden longings
Interpreting its need
No human heart can enter 
Each dim recess of mine 
Or know and soothe and calm it
O, Blessed Lord, like Thine

(Chorus)

I could not do without Thee
Lord Jesus, Shepherd, Friend
When eyes are cloaked in worry
Thy comfort is at hand
And in Thy sweet communion 
My lonely soul is blessed
For Thou are joy eternal 
Yes, everlasting rest!

(Chorus)

I Could Not Do Without Thee

Dieses Lied kommt aus Psalm 13 und ist ein Klagelied.

Bis wann, o Herr? Willst du für immer mich vergessen?
Bis wann, o Herr, willst du dein Angesicht vor mir verbergen?
Bis wann soll ich Sorgen hegen in meiner Seele?
Bis wann soll ich Kummer haben in meinem Herzen?
Schaue und antworte mir, mein Gott!

Bis wann, o Herr? Willst du für immer mich vergessen?
Bis wann, o Herr, soll sich mein Feind über mich erheben?
Bis wann soll ich Sorgen hegen in meiner Seele?
Bis wann soll ich Kummer haben in meinem Herzen?
Schaue und antworte mir, mein Gott!
Bis wann?
 
Erleuchte meine Augen, damit ich nicht sterbe,
dass nicht mein Feind sich rühme, wenn ich schwach werde.
Auf deine Gnade traue ich, so gerne hilfst du mir.
Von ganzem Herzen singe ich und lobe dich, o Herr.
Du, mein Retter, warst so gut zu mir.

Schaue und antworte mir, mein Gott!
Bis wann?

Bis wann, o Herr?

There is a Someone (with Lydia G.)

The tune for this song came, once again, from a dream. Around the same time I was in a brief conversation online about a hymn called "Though Strait Be the Way" by Joseph Hart and the proper use of the word 'strait' versus 'straight'.

I built off Hart's hymn to create an original new song to the tune from my dream. Let us always maintain the fire of faith, in the midst of worldly distractions and persecution alike. Hart's hymn can be found here: https://hymnary.org/text/though_strait_be_the_way

See how quickly we forget
Our souls once ressurect-
-ed, destined for the fire.
Slipping lower, swiftly lower
Flailing without power
Meriting no favor.

Sin's whole cancelled sum.
It's not a small thing!
That which is to come,
Outshines it all.

Sing!
With the worship of voices,
In life, in all choices
We share of His offering:
The gift of our King.
Think!
At what cost He has bought us 
The ransom that brought us,
From evil to good
Was His own guiltless blood.

Grieving things we think we're owed,
A life without misfor-
-tune, living our desires.
Slipping lower, swiftly lower,
Proving in the hour
Faith without it's power.

Jealousy of things
That only hurt us,
Zealously, we link
Ourselves to lies.

Sing!
With the brothers and sisters,
And promise and future
We take a new stand for
The life on demand.
Think!
By the way strait and narrow
And danger and arrows
We are what we are
For He's helped us this far.

Spare us the judgment of Laodicea
Remove any idol we've made our Messiah
Lord guard every heart from a lifestyle condemnable 
Lukewarm in faith and in love with the temporal
Kindle a fire to reach the unreachable

Spare us the judgment of Laodicea.
Remove any idol we've made our Messiah.
Lord guard every heart from a lifestyle condemnable,
Lukewarm in faith and in love with the temporal.
Kindle a fire to reach the unreachable.
Save us a place at the lamb's banquet table (in the eschatological)

Sin's whole cancelled sum.
It's not a small thing!
That which is to come,
Outshines it all.

(same time as above)

How we belittle the love of our Savior, 
Lamenting the boundaries; He calls us with fervor
While here on the earth to be servants and messengers,
Managers of a great Kingdom expenditure,
Quickly forgotten the moment we see His face
Lost in His glory, the hearts of the human race
Worshiping wholly the source of all love and grace
Jesus the Way of God, Truth across time and space

See how quickly we forget
Our souls once ressurect-
-ed, destined for the fire.
Slipping lower, swiftly lower
Flailing without power
Meriting no favor.

Sing!
That in spite our failures
Our Shepherd forever
Will seek and restore
Heal the wounds that we tore
Think!
That the Great Convocation
Defies illustration,
When myriads thrown down
Their unworthy crowns.

Sing!
With the worship of voices,
In life, in all choices
We share of His offering:
The gift of our King.
Think!
At what cost He has bought us 
The ransom that brought us,
From evil to good
Was His own guiltless blood.

Still, how quickly we forget...
