He Shall Reign // Studio Session (Chris Tomlin Cover)
Words by Chris Tomlin, Matt MaherMusic by Chris Tomlin, Matt MaherWritten 2015
In the bleak midwinter, all creation groans
For a world in darkness, frozen like a stone
Light is breaking, in a stable for a throne
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
Unto us a Child is born
The King of kings and Lord of lords
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
