Our God Reigns opens with the sound of the piano, followed by the steady beat of the drums, setting a reverent tone for the opening line, Holy is the Lord. The arrangement supports the lyrics well, giving them space to be heard and felt. As the song progresses, it grows into a familiar Contemporary Christian Music worship expression, with Our God reigns echoing through the room and leading into the declaration, Forever Jesus reigns. The focus remains on declaring who God is rather than on musical display.

Allowing the congregation to take center stage is one of the strengths of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), and this moment reflects that clearly. As the song unfolds, the repeated declaration,

He reigns
He reigns, He reigns
He reigns over all the earth
The only One true God
The only One who saves
Forever He will reign.

fills the room and continues as the song develops, drawing everyone into a shared moment of worship and participation.

Lyrically, the song is simple and direct, centring on God’s holiness, His reign, and the finished work of Jesus. The repetition helps the message settle, making it easy for the congregation to follow and join in. The language is clear and familiar, which works well for both personal listening and church settings.

Overall, this worship moment is effective because it leaves room for people to engage. It is not rushed or overworked, but steady and intentional. Our God Reigns creates space for voices to rise together in unity, allowing the declaration of God’s reign to remain at the centre of the moment.
