SONGS WE’LL BE SINGING TOGETHER
Last week, we introduced a new song called “Jesus Over Everything,” which we will sing again this Sunday. May our countenance be lifted as we cling to Jesus’ promise in John 16:33, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Catch the latest Doxologies video and read more about our heart for this song.

Doxologies: Jesus Over Everything
Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name… Philippians 2:9
It’s only been a few weeks since we immersed ourselves in the sober reality of Good Friday, the waiting that came with Saturday, and the glorious celebration and joy realized on Easter Sunday. While we are hard-pressed to truly put ourselves in the shoes of those close to Jesus during His physical ministry on earth, we can all relate to the sinking feelings of defeat and loss. We can all relate to the feeling of doubt or abandonment. And we’ve all experienced seasons of waiting and, just as Jesus’s disciples and many titans of the faith have exhibited, we may struggle to see any pathway to victory within the constructs of human understanding.
But Jesus changes everything. He turns every worldly intuition and value upside down. In Jesus, new life emerges from death (2 Corinthians 5:17) and beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3). When we follow Jesus, we are called to deny rather than indulge ourselves (Luke 9:23-24). We are called to love rather than hate our enemy (Matthew 5:44). We are called to humble ourselves, and the Lord will exalt us (James 4:10). And perhaps one of the more challenging realities: we are instructed that our victories in Jesus come through surrender and recognition of our weaknesses (2 Cor:9-11).
For many of us, “surrender” is not a welcomed concept. We hold too tightly to our perception of success. We try to do it ourselves. We look for a bypass from battler to escape hardship. And when we become drained and deflated, we wonder why it’s all so difficult as we grapple with God’s goodness, faithfulness and sovereignty. Where is He in all of the mess? The answer: ABOVE IT. Our Jesus is seated in Heaven on the throne, reigning over everything.
While it is human nature to crown ourselves rulers over our own lives, we are commanded to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). In other words—instead of putting ourselves first, we are to put Jesus over everything. If this came naturally, God would not have commanded His children, “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you…” (Colossians 3:2-5) That Heavenly or eternal perspective only comes by the power of the Holy Spirit within us: the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and serves as an unbreakable seal and blessed assurance in the hearts of Christians (2 Corinthians 1:22, 5:5, Ephesians 1:13-14, 4:30).
It is with this heart that we introduce Jesus Over Everything as an anthem of praise and confidence that Jesus is King above all kings and Lord over all of the brokenness we encounter as we sojourn through this life. As we raise our voices together in this great declaration, may our countenance be lifted as we cling to the peace, power, and promise we find from Jesus in John 16:33: “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
JESUS OVER EVERYTHING
He came from glory
Took on flesh to save the lost
Grace and mercy displayed upon the cross
Our redemption, He’s the hope for all mankind
One name over everything
One name over everything
Jesus over everything
He reigns forevermore
Our song for all eternity
Jesus Christ is Lord
Who can rival our resurrected King
In one moment, He brought dеath to its knees
All the power and all authority
To one namе over everything
Yes to one name everything
Over fear, over shame
Over all anxiety
Over troubles and all pain
Over sickness and disease
For He reigns on the throne
All praise to Him alone
One name over everything
Over death and all sin
Over hell, over the grave
Darkness bows, demons flee
At the mention of His name
For He reigns on the throne
All praise to Him alone
One name over everything
Oh! Jesus over everything
He reigns forevermore
Our song for all eternity
Jesus Christ is Lord
