Our God Reigns
Lenord E. Smith, Jr.

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.

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 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
