Far Superior
Far Superior
He is far superior to the angels
He is exalted above the earth
Though He came to save as a lowly one
He is lifted high as the Lord
He is the Son to the Father
And all the angels will fall down in praise
The Lord is high over all the angels
His glory surpasses all earthly things
His name is superior, inherited
His name, His name is the Lord our God
He is perfect, the exact representation
He sustains all things through His word
The Lord our Savior, is heir to the universe
Heir to the angels, and heir to us,
The Son of God, our God, is heir to all,
Through Him, the universe was made
Through Him, all our debts were paid
His angels are Spirits, flames of fire
The reign of His Son will go on forever
The Son of our Father will always be just
He radiates righteousness, always does good,
The Lord our Savior is anointed with oil
Exalted above all others and all His companions
Our Savior is our Maker and all the world's Creator
He laid the foundations of the earth in His timing
Created the heavens with His hands
To us, the created, the heavens are magnificent
We are dwarfed in comparison, nothing seems greater
But God, our Lord, Savior, and Creator, He is greater
And all the universe-heavens and earth-will end
Even then, when all we know is discarded and worn out
The Lord, The Son, our Maker, our God, He will remain
The same, unchanged, unaged, unfazed.
The Lord our God, the Son sent to earth
He is above all earthly things, and likewise above the angels
The angels serve the righteous ones
The angels serve the chosen ones
Those chosen to inherit salvation
But the Lord our Savior is no angel
No, his magnificent holiness is far above any angel
He reigns superior.

This poem comes from Hebrews 1, it was my thoughts and understanding of the passage over a couple of days, if it is compared to the actual passage in the NIV version you can see several lines that came directly from the chapter, sorry, I couldn't help it, they just fit in so well :).
