Jesus Reigns!

I will stand upon salvation, walking hand in hand with Jesus.

I will stand upon salvation for He reigns, for He reigns!

It is finished He has done it: Death is beaten, He is risen!

All God's children never perish, Jesus reigns Jesus reigns

All the pow’rs of hell defeated, they can’t stand before his power

He will save and will deliver, Jesus reigns! Jesus reigns!

We’re His friends and were His family, chosen, precious, loved, forgiven.

None can tear us from His love for Jesus reigns! Jesus reigns!

4x We are Yours. 

Repeat vs. 1.


This song is based on the fact that Jesus rules over everything and he likes and loves us.  Yes, it is exceedingly sweet.  He has given all who will come to him, believe in him, repent (change our mind and ways regarding what He calls sin), ask forgiveness, and make Him the Lord of our lives the right to be His children (we can do this only b/c He helps us to, He gives us faith as a gift, not as something we deserve).  The part where it says that death is beaten He is risen is meant to refer to when He was crucified and bore all the penalty of our sins upon His shoulders, and actually died and was dead.  However, He rose from the dead on the third day and still lives and has authority over all things from heaven.  The part where it says that His children never perish does not mean that we will not die in an earthly sense, it means that our souls will be in fellowship with Him when we die, and when He comes back to earth we will rise with glorified bodies and serve and praise our Him forever that way.  To deliver means to save.  Jesus came to heal physically and to release people from the bondage of sin, death, and the power of the devil.  I believe He still does that as well through members of His church and the Holy Spirit.  What a wonderful God to serve.

This is my personal testimony of what I believe.  I do not claim to be a Bible teacher.  If you have further questions, please ask God, Christians who believe in the Bible (me included), and read the Bible for yourself as well (the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are a good place to start).
