The song reminds us that God reigns and is above all things, which is a comforting concept for many Christians. It is a reminder that no matter how difficult life may seem, God is in control and will always be there to guide and protect us.
The second half of the song focuses on the divine attributes of God, singing "holy, holy are You Lord God Almighty" and acknowledging the worthiness of Jesus as the Lamb of God.
