Our God Reigns

Album: I Exalt Thee (1983)

  • How lovely on the mountains are the feet of Him
    Who brings good new, good news,
    Announcing peace, proclaiming news of happiness:
    Our God reigns! Our God reigns!

    He had no stately form, He had no majesty
    That we should be... drawn to Him
    He was despised and we took no account of Him
    Yet now He reigns... with the Most High.

    It was our sin and guilt that bruised and wounded Him.
    It was our sin... that brought Him down.
    When we like sheep had gone astray, our shepherd came
    And on His shoulders... bore our shame.

    Meek as a lamb that's led-out to the slaughter-house.
    Dumb as a sheep... before its shearer,
    His life ran down upon the ground like pouring rain
    That we might be... born again.

    Out of the tomb He came with grace and majesty.
    He is alive. He is alive.
    God loves us so, see here His hands, His feet, His side.
    Yes, we know... He is alive.

    CHOR: Our God Reigns! Our God Reigns! Our God Reigns! Our God Reigns!
