In these summer weeks, we continue to return to the theme of “Sing Your Way Through the Summer.” Today we reflect on the words of “The Lord Almighty Reigns” by Keith and Kristyn Getty. As you take some time to listen to this song (you can find it HERE), turn the lyrics into expressions of personal, specific prayer during your time with the Lord. You can also use this guide in your family time, small group, or even an upcoming church service. Sing Your Way Through the Summer (Keith & Kristyn Getty)

 

“The Lord Almighty Reigns”

By Keith and Kristyn Getty

 

Verse 1:

There’s an endless song

Waiting to be sung

With the voice of every tribe

The sound of every tongue

 

When the bride of Christ

On that day of days

Brings with joy unto the land

A multitude of praise

 

And like the roar of mighty seas

And rolls of thunder, hear His people sing

• Lord, You are worthy to receive a multitude of praise because…
• We celebrate that one day we will sing Your endless praises with…(list specific tribes/nations).
• Lord, may the voice of…(name a person or people group that doesn’t know Christ) sound forth praise to You!

 

Chorus:

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

For the Lord Almighty reigns

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

For the Lord, our God, the Almighty reigns

• Lord Almighty, we declare, “Hallelujah!” because You reign over…
• Lord, I confess that instead of resting in Your reign, I seek control in…

Then, greater will the anthem ring

And mighty chorus rising to the King

• King Jesus, we proclaim praise because Your name is…
