Our God Reigns

It is best when played all the way through
| Words and Music: | Lenny Smith, c1970 |
How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him
who brings good news, good news!
Announcing peace, proclaiming news of happiness
Our God reigns, our God reigns!
Refrain:
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!
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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
Meek as a lamb that's led out to the slaughter-house,
Dumb as a sheep before its sheerer
His life ran down upon the ground like pouring rain
That we might be born again.
Refrain
Out from 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!
Refrain
