Q - Words of Truth Lyrics

The Lord Reigns

Psalm 93. Music by Eric Gwin.

The Story Behind the Song

As we were beginning the second "Q" album (Into His Presence), we began talking about worship music and the importance of expressing praise to God through music. Our goal for the album was to lean more toward a worship feel, as opposed to the "performance" feel of our first album. So we began putting together songs with this in mind, and one of the first praise songs that I came up with was this one.

With all the talk about worship, I began to look through the scriptures for ideas, especially in the book of Psalms. Chapter 93 really jumped out at me as an expression of God's awesome power. The song more or less wrote itself. 

The Lyrics

Chorus: The Lord Reigns
The Lord reigns, he is clothed with majesty
The Lord has clothed himself with strength
The Lord reigns, he is clothed with majesty
He will not be moved.

The floods have lifted up their voice
The floods have lifted up, O Lord
The floods have lifted up their waves
The floods have lifted up, O Lord
More than the sounds of many waters
And the mighty breakers of the sea
The Lord on high is mighty

Chorus

Repeat Verse

Chorus 2x
