Reign Lyrics

I was there, I saw them swear and spit out His name

I was there, I saw His nakedness and His shame

I was there when they put the crown of thorns on His head

And laughed while He bled

When they pushed him up that hill called Calveray…that was for me

I was there when they drove the nails into His hands and feet

I was there when they challenged Him to set Himself free

I was there when they pierced His side and gambled for His clothes

And mocked Him, "King of the Jews"

When He breathed His last and died there on that tree…that was for me

And darkness reigned. Thunder shook the earth, the curtain tore away

Because of all my sin, Jesus was betrayed. It reigned

I was there, I saw the empty tomp open wide

I was there, I touched His hands and felt His wounded side

I was there when He said to tell the news to everyone

that Christ the Messiah has come

He was taken up to heaven and I saw Him sitting next to God

And Jesus reigns. He set the captives free, He's broken every chain

He's seated on the throne, full of majesty

Worthy of all praise, He is Prince of Peace

Jesus reign. Come and reign

In our hearts, in our homes, in Your church, in this world

Jesus, reign. Come and reign. Lord, You reign
