The Lord Jesus Reigns!

Behind barred doors, the apostles met
Covered with fear, hiding from threat
For they will all suffer in prison
All of them are charged with treason.
And they will rot, die and decay
Nothing will be left, but ash and clay
There will be no more day or words to say
For the Lord was gone, in a tomb He lay

But at the midst of despair He emerged
Alive and well with a holy surge
His apostles were no longer lost
His glory reigns, He hath paid the cost
Our punishment He took
And in horror we look
Resurrected now, the world He shook

Now that He lives our hope is certain
No longer are we bounded by curtain
The life He gave He took back
The sacrifice was enough, nothing in lack
He sits on His throne, His rightful place
In awe and worship, in shock and daze
All Hail! The Lord Jesus reigns!
