V1:
In the dimming of evening, he's the holder of the stars.
In the loneliness of darkness, he's everywhere we are;
We've been chasing after shadows, and clinging to our gallows,
But Jesus, our Jesus is King.
C:
The Lord, our God, he reigns.
The Lord, our God, he reigns.
In glorious power, his throne is forever.
The Lord, our God, he reigns.
V2:
In the breaking of the morning, he's the mercy that we hold.
In the rising of the noonday, he's the promise that's foretold.
We've been fighting for our stories, and hiding in our glories,
But Jesus, our Jesus is King!
V3:
Whatever the evening or morning may bring,
There's grace for tomorrow, and songs for us to sing.
There's a boundary for sadness, there's a balance for our madness,
'Cause Jesus, our Jesus is King.
Ending:
Our hope is in his love.
Our hope is in his love.
He shows kindness in justice, he's the God who is with us.
Our hope is in his love.
Cause Jesus, our Jesus, is King.
