Great wars have been fought,
Great crusades of the "saved"
Have been launched, (Over you)
Their heretic searches
And inquisitorial taunts, (Over you)
At least that's what was said
By the ones who were dreaming
Of lifting their heads...
Over you, over you,
There is nothing, there's no one,
There's no other Lord over you, over you,
You're the great king, the one God
The Lord of us all,
There is none, there is none,
Over you, over you,
Over you, over you.
The sceptics laugh, "Faith is past
God is dead, we are at last over you,
Our infatuation's lost all fascination
We're now over you,"
But then, not all agree,
You know, as for myself
Lord, I never could be...
Over you, over you,
There is nothing, there's no one,
There's no other Lord over you, over you,
You're the great king, the one God
The Lord of us all,
There is none, there is none,
Over you, over you,
Over you, over you.
Under your mercy
Dear God, I will stay,
Under your sheltering hand, I will pray,
Under your covering word
I have learned how to say...
Over you, over you,
There is nothing, there's no one,
There's no other Lord over you, over you,
You're the great king, the one God
The Lord of us all,
There is none, there is none,
Over you, over you,
There's nothing, there's no one,
There's no other Lord over you, over you,
You're the great king, the one God
The Lord of us all,
There is none, there is none,
Over you, over you,
Over you, over you,
Over you, over you,
Over you, over you,
There is none over you,
There is none over you,
Over you, over you,
Over you, over you,
