In the morning as I pray
For the day that You have made
I have hope and I have peace
For Your presence is with me
So whatever comes my way
Lord remind me of this grace
I can face it with this hope
Jesus won't forget His own
Jesus holds me safely in His hands
Ever close he leads me in His plans
When I can't see the way
I have hope and I have faith
Day after day, Jesus reigns
In the evening as I rest
I recall Your faithfulness
How You never left my side
From the morning to the night
Now until the dawning sun
Be the light that leads me on
I can face it with this hope
Jesus on't forget His own
Jesus holds me safely in His hands
Ever close he leads me in His plans
When I can't see the way
I have hope and I have faith
Day after day, Jesus reigns
Always before me
And always beside me
My shepherd is always close
Morning to evening
Each day that I'm given
My shepherd is always close
Always before me
And always beside me
My shepherd is always close
Morning to evening
Each day that I'm given
My shepherd is always close
For tomorrow this I pray
Father help me live Your way
Every breath and every word
For the glory of the Lord
If the day should test my faith
Or fill my heart with songs of praise
I can face it with this hope
Jesus won't forget His own
Jesus holds me safely in His hands
Ever close he leads me in His plans
When I can't see the way
I have hope and I have faith
Day after day, Jesus reigns
Day after day, Jesus reigns
"Day After Day, Jesus Reigns" by CityAlight is a powerful and uplifting worship song that reminds us of the unwavering reign of Jesus in our lives. The lyrics convey a deep sense of hope, peace, and trust in God's presence and faithfulness day after day.
As I listen to this song, I am captivated by the beautiful melodies and harmonies that draw me into a place of worship. The lyrics speak of the believer's journey throughout the day, starting with the morning prayer and ending with evening rest. It paints a picture of a constant reliance on God's grace and guidance through every moment of our lives.
One of the main themes in this song is the assurance that Jesus holds us safely in His hands. This imagery is drawn from Scripture, particularly from John 10:28-29, where Jesus says, "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand." This verse reminds us that as believers, we are securely held by the loving hands of Jesus, who will never let us go.
The song also emphasizes the nearness of God in our daily lives. It encourages us to trust in His plans and to remember His faithfulness from morning to night. The lyrics reflect the psalmist's words in Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." This verse reminds us that God is always with us, guiding and comforting us through every circumstance.
Another beautiful aspect of this song is the declaration that Jesus reigns day after day. This reminds me of the truth found in Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." The eternal reign of Jesus brings hope and comfort, knowing that He is constant and unchanging in His love, grace, and power.
The lyrics also express a desire to live each day in accordance with God's will, seeking to bring glory to His name. This aligns with the apostle Paul's exhortation in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." It reminds us that our lives should be a reflection of our faith in Jesus, seeking to honor Him in every aspect.
Overall, "Day After Day, Jesus Reigns" is a beautiful song that brings encouragement and inspiration to believers. It reminds us of the constant presence and reign of Jesus in our lives, instilling in us a deep sense of hope, peace, and trust. Through its lyrics and melodies, it points us back to Scripture and encourages us to live each day for the glory of God. As we sing along, may our hearts be filled with gratitude and awe for the eternal reign of Jesus in our lives.
