Essentials in Worship Theology - The God Who Reigns
The_God_Who_Reigns_Chord_Chart
This is my creative response to the Essentials in Worship Theology class.
My favorite part of the course was the study on the nature of God. It was very humbling to dig into who God is. Even though I cannot fully understand Him, His attributes allow me to know Him in many ways.
One of the main ways God reveals Himself to us is as the God who reigns. He is Lord over all His creation and rules in sovereignty. The song I wrote focuses on this.
He is the beginning and the end. He is not constrained nor defined by time. He authored time. The only way we can truly describe Him in terms of time is that He is eternal.
All of creation draws its life from Him. All praise and glory belongs to Him. Scripture says in Isaiah 45:23 and Romans 14:11 that every knee will bow to Him and every tongue will acknowledge Him as Lord.
As worship leaders, I think it is important that we help our congregation remember that He is our Lord. Our society constantly tries to tell us that we are our own boss. But, as Paul says in Romans 6, we are to be slaves to righteousness that leads us to holiness.
I hope the song is a reminder of who He is. Please forgive my lack of piano and vocal skills.
