Holy is the Lord

Seated on the throne
The train of His robe
Fills the temple

Worthy is Your name
Worthy is Your name
Let the heavens rejoice
Let the earth be glad
Say among the nations
[Chorus]
That our God reigns
Our God reigns
Forever Your kingdom reigns
Our God reigns
Yes our God reigns
Forever Your kingdom reigns

Worship and adore
Jesus we adore
The perfect Lamb was slain
And risen from the grave
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Our God reigns
Our God reigns
Forever Your kingdom reigns
Yes our God reigns, He reigns, He reigns
Oh our God reigns

This song is a modern reimagining of the classic anthem "Our God Reigns" (originally written by Martin Smith).
