Our God Reigns on High

Our God reigns on high
He rules the earth and sky
His enemies would cast Him
Down to elevate themselves
 

Prideful thoughts hold them
Captive – Death and hell
Await them – Yet they
Dance on by like zombies
 
Come along with me
They sing – Why not be free
From your mother’s rule –
Your father’s God forget
 
Look inside yourself
Power lies within – they say
Be one with the universe
Reject all thought of Deity
 
Fools say in their hearts
There is no God – No God
Who can stop them in their
Tracks – they won’t turn back
 
Our God reigns on high
He rules the earth and sky
He laughs at their frivolity
He knows their fear will come
 
Fear will come on those
Opposing truth – God will
Laugh when they cry out
He won’t be there for them
 
Wisdom calls them but their
Ears are shut – their foolish
Hearts are dark – Children –
Run from them to Jesus
 
Lamb of God – Savior LORD
Who spoke the universe into
Existence – who named the stars
Who died and rose for us
 
Run to Him and worship
Don’t listen to foolish talk
The children of God are blessed
Forever with God to walk

Psalm 14:1-3 – The Bible (KJV) – The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Romans 1:16-23 – The Bible (KJV) – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has shown it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

Proverbs 1:20-33 – The Bible (KJV) – Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets: She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying, how long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; but ye have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; when your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkens unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
