Reign Jesus Reign
Meaning & Inspiration
Joe Mettle’s powerful declaration, "Reign Jesus Reign - King Of Zion," released on August 5, 2014, immediately establishes itself as an anthem of divine sovereignty and worship. The song's essence is a profound summons for the undisputed reign of Christ in the lives of believers and across all creation, a lyrical prayer and proclamation that resonates with a deep spiritual longing for God's ultimate authority. It’s a testament to the King of Kings, drawing inspiration directly from the foundational truths of Christian faith and biblical prophecy, calling those who sing it to acknowledge and submit to His supreme rule. The narrative woven throughout the piece isn't a personal anecdote, but rather a universal truth, reflecting humanity's ancient call to recognize and praise the Creator who holds all power and dominion.
The song commences with the insistent chant, "Reign Jesus reign, King of Zion, Judah's Lion," a potent theological statement affirming Christ’s dual identity as both spiritual monarch and formidable protector. The title "King of Zion" points to God's chosen city, Jerusalem, and by extension, the heavenly Jerusalem, solidifying Jesus’ position as the ultimate, sovereign ruler over His people and His eternal kingdom, as seen in passages like Psalm 2:6, where God declares, "I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain." This echoes further in Hebrews 12:22, which speaks of Mount Zion as the city of the living God. Coupled with "Judah's Lion," the imagery becomes even more striking. This appellation, drawn directly from Revelation 5:5, where Christ is heralded as "the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed," and rooted in Jacob's prophecy in Genesis 49:9-10, portrays Jesus not merely as a gentle savior, but as a majestic, victorious, and formidable figure whose authority is absolute and unchallenged, guaranteeing His ultimate triumph over all opposing forces. This is a call to align with the unstoppable force of God’s kingdom.
The song then shifts to an impassioned series of rhetorical questions: "Who is like unto thee oh Lord? Among the gods, who is like thee? Glorious in holiness, True in wonders hallelujah." This section deeply explores God's incomparable nature, echoing the ancient declaration of Moses in Exodus 15:11, "Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?" It's a powerful affirmation of monotheism, asserting that no earthly or spiritual power can stand beside the Almighty. The emphasis on God being "Glorious in holiness" highlights His moral perfection and utter separateness from sin, while "True in wonders" speaks to His consistent and reliable miraculous power throughout history. These lines compel reflection on God's unique attributes, inviting worshippers to recognize His unparalleled majesty and might, acknowledging that His ways are beyond human comprehension and His power limitless, as Isaiah 40:18 and 25 similarly question who can be compared to God.
The worship deepens with the declaration, "Who is there like You oh God? It's in an honor to stand and worship You." This segment beautifully captures the essence of adoration, framing worship not just as a duty, but as an immense privilege. It underscores the profound humility and reverence that should accompany our approach to God, recognizing that our very existence and ability to worship are gifts. The culmination of this reverence is expressed in the repeated action: "We lift our hands to the great I am, Who can compare with You." The act of lifting hands is a timeless gesture of surrender, praise, and receptivity found throughout Scripture, such as in Psalm 134:2. More significantly, addressing God as "the great I Am" connects directly to God's self-revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:14, signifying His eternal, self-existent, and unchanging nature. This name was also famously claimed by Jesus in John 8:58, affirming His divine identity. The repetition of "Who can compare with You" acts as a foundational truth, reinforcing the central theme of God's unmatched supremacy and His exclusive worthiness of all praise. Joe Mettle’s "Reign Jesus Reign - King Of Zion" is thus a timeless worship piece, urging believers to fully embrace and celebrate the sovereign rule of Christ, finding both comfort and strength in His glorious, incomparable reign.
