The repeated refrain of "He reigns" emphasizes that despite life's uncertainties, God remains in control. The lyrics describe God as "an awesome God," with wisdom, power, and love - a loving ruler who is just as awe-inspiring as He is compassionate. The song reminds us that God's power is unstoppable and infinite, and that we can trust in Him to deliver us from our fears.
The second half of the song speaks directly to the personal impact of God's love.
