Lyrics
Verse 1
When I look towards the heavens
And I see His mighty hand
As He moves across the heavens
With Majesty and grace
Chorus
In His care He holds my future
In His love I will abide
Our God reigns, my God reigns
Verse 2
As my spirit lifts to praise Him
For His mighty love and mercy
As He holds my life in His hands
My doubts He understands
Bridge
As I join with all the Angels
My heart shouts aloud to praise Him
My God reigns, our God reigns

Meaning & Inspiration
Our God Reigns is a song of praise that looks to the heavens and sees God's majesty. The first lines describe the singer gazing upward at His mighty hand moving with grace, and they move from that wide view to a personal one: His care holds the future, and His love is the place where the singer will abide.
The refrain "Our God reigns, my God reigns" joins a shared confession to an individual one. The second part speaks of the spirit lifting to praise Him for love and mercy, and of a life held in His hands where doubts are understood. The language fits Psalm 93:1 and Isaiah 52:7, which announce that God reigns, and Psalm 139:10, which speaks of being held by His hand. A closing line joins the angels, so earthly praise is placed beside heavenly praise. Gentle and steady, the song is easy to sing together and keeps its focus on trust in God's rule.
