Jehovah Reigns
Hezekiah Walker's song 'Jehovah Reigns Forever' is a worship anthem that exalts God's supreme power and sovereignty. The lyrics ask rhetorical questions about God's ability to transform seasons, command angels, and control the winds, emphasizing His unmatched authority. The chorus invites believers to worship together with lifted hands in reverence. The second verse encourages listeners to recognize God as the source of new life and joy, urging them to praise Him despite pain and struggle. The song includes a clapping and blessing segment, reinforcing a celebratory, participatory worship experience. It draws on the biblical theme of God's eternal reign, reminiscent of Psalms that declare His kingship.
[Verse 1:]
Have you ever known anybody
Who can turn Winter to Spring
Have you ever known anybody
Who can make the angels sing
Have you ever known anybody
Who can make the winds obe
Who can make heaven and earth bow down and say
[Chorus:]
Jehovah reigns forever
Let us worship Him together
As we lift our hands in reverence
Jehovah reigns forever [x8]
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Tell me right now
If you understand what it means
He's the reason you have new life
And the reason your heart sings
If you know like I know
And your tired of pain and strife
Lift your hands up above to the Lord
For what he'll do in your life
[Chorus]
[Vamp: x4]
This is the way we clap our hands
This is the way we praise
This is the way we bless Him
Cause He reigns, He reigns
[Chorus]
[Vamp]
[Chorus]
