You Reign

Even before there was a drop in the ocean
Even before there was a star in the sky
Even before the world was put in motion
You were on Your throne, You were on Your throne

You reign, glory in the highest, You reign
Let creation testify by Your name
Every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim
That Jesus reigns

Even before Your hand made the heavens
Even before the breath of all mankind
Even before we had to be forgiven
You were on Your throne, You were on Your throne

Yesterday, today and forever
You are God who was and is and is to come
You reign, glory in the highest, You reign

You reign, glory in the highest, You reign
Let creation testify by Your name
Every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim
Let every tongue proclaim, let every tongue proclaim
That Jesus reigns

But You, O Lord, reign for ever; Your throne endures to all generations…
Lamentations 5:19
Our God reigns yesterday…today…and tomorrow.  He was there from the beginning of time and He will be there until the last. Every moment, every breath we take, is a gift from our God.
For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Romans 14:11
While we are His children when we pronounce Him as our Lord and King, we are to bow and confess that He is the one true God.  We are to honor and love Him as the Number One in our life. We are to put Him first over our husband, boyfriend, even our children.  When these things are in the correct order, our lives will line up. Now, this does not mean that trouble will not come to us, but we will surely overcome!

Father, thank You for reigning in our lives. Thank You for loving us enough to pursue us. Thank You for being patient and forgiving us when we try to rule our own lives. Help us to give every detail over to You each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
