[Verse 1]
Glad You came and joined us
You're welcome in Your glory
It's been a while, we need Your rain above
See, we had to fight through darkness
Just to feel Your presence
If only anyone could hear us call

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what a tragedy (Yes)
When we forget to see (Yes)
He promised He'd be with us through it all (Because)

[Chorus]
He reigns (Though many)
Though many don't believe
He reigns (Every nation)
Every nation too will see
Even though we hardly win (It's temporary)
We know in the end, we win
Let the healing now begin, let it begin
Let it begin, because

[Hook]
He reigns
I know, I know, do you know?
He reigns
I know, I know (Geoffrey)
Do you know? (Verse 2)
[Verse 2]
Note, there will be fighting (Whoa!)
The wars will come to harm us
Many kingdoms, soon someday, will bow hard
But the God of Angel Armies (Hallelujah!)
Declared to us the victory
Before we ever heard the battle call

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what a tragedy (Yes)
When we forget to see (Yes)
The promise that He's with us through it all
He promised, because

[Chorus]
He reigns (Though many don't believe)
Though many don't believe (Yes!)
He reigns (Every nation, tribe, and creed)
Every nation too will see
Even though we hardly win (It's temporary)
We know in the end, we win (We're goin' to win it)
Let the healing now begin, let it begin (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy!)
Oh, because He reigns

[Hook]
He reigns (Yes, He, duh-duh)
I know, I know, do you know?
He reigns
I know, I know (I know)
Do you know?
He reigns (Dallas, how you doing?)
I know, I know, do you know? (Forever, forever)
He reigns
And He shall reign forever (He reigns)
Geoffrey, take 'em to the bridge
[Bridge]
In just a while (Whoa!)
The night will turn to sunlight, and
Wept up ? the night
The dead in Christ will dance again
And face to face
I will be like Jesus, sure
Every doubt has now been replaced
All because, all because (Because He reigns)
My Jesus reigns, whoa! (Reigns)
My Jesus reigns, feels so good (Reigns)
He reigns, He reigns (Reigns)
Clap like this, and my background say
I know, I know, I know, oh
The kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of our Lord
Clap like this, and my background say (I know, I know)
I know, I know, I know, oh, oh
He will never change, all powers in His hands (Geoffrey, one more time, preach to 'em)
Thank You for this moment (Thank You)
Just to behold Your glory (Yes)
Amazed at all You've done
Now, I can say, I can say (Yeah!)

[Chorus]
He reigns (Jesus reigns, come on!)
Though many don't believe, He reigns
Oh, oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh (Every nation)
Every nation too will see (Every nation will see, yes!)
Even though we hardly win (We know)
We know in the end, we win (Let the healing)
Let the healing now begin, let it begin (begin right now, oh, right now)
Dallas, clap those hands!
[Chorus]
He reigns (Ayy, ayy, ayy! Though many don't believe)
Though many don't believe (My Jesus reigns)
He reigns (Everybody all over the world will see)
Every nation too will see (They will see)
Even though we hardly win (We know that, let the healing)
We know in the end, we win (Come on!)
Let the healing now begin, let it begin (Let it begin)
Let it begin, let it begin, let it begin, because (Let's go!)

[Hook]
He reigns (Whoa!)
I know, I know, do you know? (My Jesus reigns)
He reigns (Do you believe it?)
I know, I know (Yes!)
Do you know? (My Jesus reigns)
He reigns (Say it again!)
I know, I know, I know (There's nobody like Him)
He reigns (Yeah!)
I know, I know (He reigns, He reigns)
I know, oh, oh
Kirk Franklin, everybody!
