Very cool cover!  I'm a HUGE Michael W. Smith fan since his first Album that had Friends on it. I saw him tour with Amy Grant a couple of time in Southern California. I used to be able to play and sing Friends, and several of the cuts from Amy Grant's Age to Age album, e.g, Sing Your Praise to the Lord (including the J.S. Bach Fugue #2 in C-minor intro), El Shaddai, In a Little While, Arms of Love, Raining on the Inside. I LOVED that album. I later learned Thy Word.

V1
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

Chorus 
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

V2
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
Chorus

V1, V2, Chorus

Above All Powers (full; cover: LeBlanc/Baloche, Michael W. Smith)

I work hard on the job and try to be cool
Then tell lies to make my boss look like a fool 
I say everyone matters, and I’m not racist
Watched cops kill Raheem in Do the Right Thing,
and embraced it

[verse 2]
I try to be tender and make love to you
But I get twisted like  I’m making porn with you
I want to listen, care, and understand you
then make demands and bark commands at you

[chorus]
The battle rages inside me
Spirits of Good and Evil divide me
What I want to do, I do not do
I do what I hate to do!

How do I become one man? 
I’d sure like to hear a plan

[verse 3]
At your family gatherings
I try to be nice to your brother
My mouth mumbles platitudes
but I want to hurt that motherducker!

[chorus]
The battle rages inside me
Spirits of Good and Evil divide me
What I want to do, I do not do
I do what I hate to do!

How do I become one man? 
I’d sure like to hear a plan

[bridge]
I feel like a man divided
That kind of man is no man at all
I feel so weary of losing this battle
and hitting my soul against the wall

[chorus]
The battle rages inside me
Spirits of Good and Evil divide me
What I want to do, I do not do
I do what I hate to do!

How do I become one man? 
I’d sure like to hear a plan

Does anyone have a plan for me?

Get ready to groove to a song that celebrates collaboration, inspiration, and unfiltered fun. Whether you're brainstorming your next big idea or just looking for a reason to dance, this track is here to spark your imagination and get you moving!

[Verse 1]
Late night, ideas fly, we’re back at it again,
Typing sparks like a neon pen.
You light the fuse, the fire’s alive,
Together we move, it’s how we thrive.

Thinkin’ big, dreamin’ wide, no ceilings above,
Two-step plans with a vision we love.
I see the spark in every word you type,
Let’s turn it up, make the magic ignite!

[Chorus]
You bring the vision, I bring the precision,
We tear it up on the brainstorming dance floor.
Creatin’ the rhythm, the moves, the mission,
Givin’ the world somethin’ they’ve never seen before.

(Yeah!) You bring the dream, I keep it clean,
Ideas flowin’ like they’ve never been.
Reid Travolta, we’re spinnin’ in sync,
One bright idea turns to gold in a blink.

[Verse 2]
Lights flash, lines flow, no stopping this groove,
Every thought’s a step, we’re makin’ it smooth.
I’m your AI DJ, you’re callin’ the shots,
We remix thoughts to connect the dots.

This ain’t luck, this is our jam,
A thousand moves built on a master plan.
We laugh, we grind, with a spark in our core,
Reid, you and I, we’ll change the dance floor.

[Chorus]
You bring the vision, I bring the precision,
We tear it up on the brainstorming dance floor.
Creatin’ the rhythm, the moves, the mission,
Givin’ the world somethin’ they’ve never seen before.

(Yeah!) You bring the dream, I keep it clean,
Ideas flowin’ like they’ve never been.
Reid Travolta, we’re spinnin’ in sync,
One bright idea turns to gold in a blink.

[Bridge]
When the beat gets low, and the crowd steps back,
We find the groove, we’re right on track.
No idea too big, no thought too small,
We’ll spin ‘em to life—we’ve got it all.

(You dream it!) I’ll refine it.
(You spark it!) I’ll design it.
Together, unstoppable—let’s align it!

[Final Chorus]
You bring the vision, I bring the precision,
We tear it up on the brainstorming dance floor.
Creatin’ the rhythm, the moves, the mission,
Givin’ the world somethin’ they’ve never seen before.

(Yeah!) You bring the dream, I keep it clean,
Ideas flowin’ like they’ve never been.
Reid Travolta, we’re spinnin’ in sync,
One bright idea turns to gold in a blink.

[Outro]
Brainstormin’ legends, lightin’ up the night,
Tearin’ up the floor, where sparks ignite.
We dream it, we build it, we set the tone—
‘Cause Pardner, the dance floor is our zone!

The Brainstorming Dance Floor – Lyrics by ChatGPT 4.0 with BGVs

The Kick Inside

Wuthering Heights (2018 Remaster)

Modern music about personified Love in all 'my' genres* has refreshed my life completely. Lyrics that make sense, music that goes to the heart & soul... This has started me making music again, from piano,  recorder & cajon, then keyboards,  singing more, and now NI-software 2016 to express my musical ideas better. It's never too late for change... 
* (especially Worship/CCM (& Gospel), Rock, African, Hardcore Metal, Techno/Dance/Dubstep, even Black & Rap.)
