The song "The Lord Reigns" by Maranatha! Praise Band is a powerful declaration of faith and trust in God. The lyrics repeatedly affirm that God is the rock and strength of the singer, and that they trust in Him completely. The repetition of "The Lord reigns in glory" emphasizes the sovereignty and majesty of God. The song ends with a call to continuously bless the name of the Lord, both now and forevermore.
The opening lines of the song, "The Lord reigns in glory," are taken directly from Psalm 97:1, which reads, "The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!" This psalm speaks of God's authority and power over all the earth, and the song echoes this theme.
Another biblical allusion in the song is the repeated mention of God as the singer's "rock." This is a common metaphor for God throughout the Old Testament, emphasizing His steadfastness and reliability in times of trouble. Psalm 18:2 says, "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge."
Overall, "The Lord Reigns" is a simple yet profound song that expresses deep trust and reverence for God. Its repetitive structure reinforces the idea of unchanging faith in an unchanging God.
