Our God Reigns

This song is on an album I've had for a while, but I only listened to it recently - on the first of April, in fact, when South Africa was just into the first few days of "lockdown" against the Corona virus/ COVID-19. As I write, we've just listened to the President announce a partial lifting of lockdown, with strict conditions still in place.

I've copied the lyrics here, but the part that really struck me was the chorus - Hallelujah our God reigns - where Jenn Johnson encourages us to "sing it out" - to "sing out Hallelujah," God's sovereignty, over a solid, comprehensive list of things, from our families to those who are homeless.

Even if you don't listen to this kind of music, I hope you'll take a listen and be strengthened and reassured by the chorus in particular. Link: God I look to You

God I Look To You (Bethel Music)

God I look to You, I won’t be overwhelmed
Give me vision to see things like You do
God I look to You, You’re where my help comes from
Give me wisdom; You know just what to do

I will love You Lord my strength
I will love You Lord my shield
I will love You Lord my rock forever
All my days I will love You God

Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
forever all my days Hallelujah
