I don't think "Above All Powers" fits in very well with the theology of Scripture. If Christ had indeed "thought of me, above all," wouldn't the Scriptures indicate as much? I can see some plausibility to the notion that Christ thought of His Bride, the Church, above all other earthly creatures, but that hardly equates to the individualistic notion that he thought of "me" above all else. I don't think the average Christian sings the song or comes away thinking, "after God's glory and His own, Christ thought of me, in the context of the whole Church as His Bride, above all."
