God, You reign.

reign (v) [reyn] - to possess or exercise sovereign power or authority -

You paint the night.
You count the stars and You know them by name.
The skies proclaim,
God, You reign.

Your glory shines.
You teach the sun when to bring a new day.
Creation sings,
God, You reign.

{chorus}
God, You reign.
God, You reign.
Forever and ever.
God, You reign.

You part the seas.
You move the mountains with the words that You say.
My song remains,
God, You reign.

You hold my life.
You know my heart and You call me by name.
I live to say,
God, You reign.

{chorus}

Hallelujah, Hallelu.
Hallelujah, Hallelu.

(repeat chorus}

{God, You Reign by Lincoln Brewster}

I just love this song. It words make me cry sometimes. Like, for real. I cry when I sing about how God holds my life {John 10:28} , knows my heart {Jeremiah 17:9-10} and calls me by name {Isaiah 43:1}.

That's no small thing.

It's rather quite big.

Like...universe big.

Crazy.





In case you have forgotten {like I had}, Who's in charge.

{Hint - It's not Charles.}

  1. I love that song! It nearly makes me cry, too -- and I'm not much of a crier! ;)

  2. It's amazing, isn't it? I forget people's names all the time, yet the God of the universe thinks I'm special enough to remember. And guide. And love. And save.
