I think this is one way of doing it (assuming I understand what you
were looking for). I had to put that bit of padding in there so
that the descenders of 'mf' and 'p' didn't smash into the lyrics:

%%% code begin
\score {
  <<
    \new Dynamics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing 
= #'((padding . 1)) } {
      \partial 4 a'4^\mf^\dim ^"Solo, Remaining voices Ooos" \bar "||"
      a'4. bf'8 c''4 a' |
      g'2 f'\p |
    }
    \new Staff = "sopranos" <<
      << \new Voice = "Solo"
         { \voiceOne
           {
             \partial 4 a'4 \bar "||"
             a'4. bf'8 c''4 a' |
             g'2 f' |
           }
         }
         \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = #"sopranos" } \lyricsto "Solo" 
{
           Yet what I can I give Him,
         }
         \new Voice = "sopranoOoos"
         { \voiceTwo
           {    
             \partial 4 f'4( ~ |
             f'4. g'8 a'4 f' |
             f'2 d') |
           }
         }
         \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranoOoos" { Ooo }
      >> \bar "|."
    >>
  >>
  \layout { }
}
%%%% code end

Cheers,
