I think you misunderstood my reply. I didn't say that you
should use text \markup commands, but that you should
use Rehearsal marks, i.e. use the \mark command, just
as you already have done for the "REFRAIN" indication
in your original example.
Also, it's much easier to understand a question if you include
a complete example that can be ran directly in LilyPond
instead of just a few lines taken out of context.

I removed set stanza and used rehearsal marks instead. Here is an
example:
BEFORE:
allWords = \lyricmode
{
\set stanza = "1" \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X =

people tremble;*
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\markup {\raise #2.0 \dynamic mf he is enthroned upon the

AFTER:
allWords = \lyricmode
{
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT \markup{\box 1
\raise #2.0 \dynamic f The LORD is King; let the} people

\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\markup{ \raise #2.0 \dynamic mf he is enthroned upon

This seemed to address the lyric overlap. SO YOU FIXED MY PROBLEM.
Thanks.
However, the box and dynamic align with the first note of the
reciting tone. Can you suggest a way to get the reciting tone to
align with the first word of the text? I tried making a separate
"word" with the box and dynamic in it and inserting a leading s4 or
\skip 4 in the music. But a leading skip in the music only seems to
register when it is associated with a fatText command. I am open to
any suggestions.
