Lord You reign, reign forever
Lord You reign forever more
Lord You reign, reign forever
Lord You reign forever more
The angels bow down at the thought of You
In adoration of Your greatness and truth
The earth trembles and the heavens proclaims
Your royalty all power is in Your name
Lord You reign, reign forever
Lord You reign forever more
Lord You reign, reign forever
Lord You reign forever more
The angels bow down at the thought of You
In adoration of Your greatness and truth
The earth trembles and the heavens proclaims
Your royalty all power is in Your name
The angels bow down at the thought of You
In adoration of Your greatness and truth
The earth trembles and the heavens proclaims
Your royalty all power is in Your name
The angels bow down at the thought of You
In adoration of Your greatness and truth
The earth trembles and the heavens proclaims
Your royalty all power is in Your name
The angels bow down at the thought of You
In adoration of Your greatness and truth
The earth trembles and the heavens proclaims
Your royalty all power is in Your name
You reign, You reign

You Reign
Meaning & Inspiration
VaShawn Mitchell’s powerful track, "You Reign," released as part of his 2011 album *Triumphant*, stands as a profound declaration of divine sovereignty and eternal majesty. This song isn't just a catchy tune; it's a deeply theological statement, drawing its strength from the timeless truth of God's unshakeable rule. The narrative woven throughout "You Reign" centers on an unyielding recognition of God's supreme authority, a truth reflected in scripture from beginning to end. The repeated affirmation, "Lord, You reign, reign forever, Lord, You reign forevermore," echoes the Psalmist’s declaration in Psalm 93:1, which states, "The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength; indeed the world is firmly established, not to be moved." This foundational message is further illuminated by the imagery of celestial beings in humble prostration. The lyrics describe how "The angels bow down at the thought of You, in adoration of Your greatness and truth," a vivid depiction that calls to mind Revelation 5:11-12, where John witnesses "countless angels… surrounding the throne… and they sang in a loud voice: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!’" The awe-inspiring power attributed to God is further emphasized by the earth’s trembling and the heavens proclaiming His royalty, a testament to His omnipotence as described in Isaiah 40:26: "Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these things? He who brought out the starry hosts one by one and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing." The core message of "You Reign" is the absolute and unwavering dominion of God, a concept that permeates biblical narratives, from creation to the ultimate culmination of His divine plan. The repeated phrases and escalating intensity of the song build an atmosphere of worship and reverence, encouraging listeners to join in this collective acknowledgment of God's eternal reign. It's a musical embodiment of Romans 11:36: "For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen." VaShawn Mitchell masterfully crafts a song that is both a personal expression of faith and a universal call to worship, reminding us that in all circumstances, it is God who reigns supreme.
