Reigning life

How I love Your reigning life, Lord.
How I love abundant grace.
How I love to have Your presence,
As I live before Your face.

Sin, you helpless little fellow,
Lost your pow’r on Calvary.
I have made exchange of masters,
Now it’s Christ who rules in me.

World, with all your little trappings,
You oppress with doubts and cares.
I have found a new provider,
My anxiety He bears.

Self, you cruel manipulator,
You are wholly crucified,
I have no more need to struggle,
In Christ’s vict’ry I abide!

Lord, when You return in glory,
When You then the kingdom bring;
By Your life my Lord then make me
Manifested as a king.
