Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Father of life draw me closer
Lord, my heart is set on You
Let me run the race of time
With Your life unfolding mine
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Holy Spirit, Lord my comfort
Strengthen me, hold my head up high
And I stand upon Your truth
Bringing glory unto You
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Lord, I hunger for more of You
Rise up within me, let me know Your truth
Oh Holy Spirit, saturate my soul
And let the life of God, fill me now
Let Your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Holy Spirit, Lord my comfort
Strengthen me hold my head up high
And I stand upon Your truth
Bringing glory unto You
And let the peace of God, let it reign (Lord, I hunger)

Oh Lord, I hunger for more of You
Rise up within me, let me know Your truth
Oh Holy Spirit, saturate my soul
And let the life of God, fill me now
Let Your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And let the peace of God, let it reign (Lord, I hunger)

Oh Lord, I hunger for more of You
Rise up within me, let me know Your truth (Holy spirit)
Oh Holy Spirit, saturate my soul
And let the life of God, fill me now
Let Your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And let the peace of God, let it reign (the life of God)

And let the life of God, fill me now
Let Your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And let the peace of God, let it reign

And let the life of God, fill me now
Let Your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And let the peace of God, let it reign
Let it reign, Lord, let it reign
Let it reign, lord, Hallelujah!




Let it reign

Darlene Zschech will go down in history as the greatest psalmist of our time. Equal to any of the old writers.

Haha a good luck charm...

@favoredanointing

The Love of God, HIS presence, peace, the joy, healing and power is not a "luck charm" joke. The fact that you came here because you know deep within you, someone planted a seed and now you have questions. God loves you and has called you to do a work for him. The Bible tells that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. But while we were sinners, Jesus Christ died for our restoration to God the Father. Thru the shed blood of Jesus Christ who was nailed to the cross. Died for every sin committed and rose. God so love the world
that he gave his only begotten son. That whosoever believeth on him shall not parish but have everlasting life. We are not perfect people, just sinners saved by grace. Say these words and you will be saved. Lord Jesus I ask you to come into my heart, I believe that you are the son of God, that you died and rose again for my salvation. Thank you God for loving me. Find a Bible believing, loving church for you church home.
