He reigns on high

{bright acoustic guitar strumming} {honky-tonk piano intro bounce} (woo-hoo!)

{whistling melody}

We got a long road ahead and the dust is high But

we don't look back at the fading sky

We keep our boots moving steady and true

With a brand new horizon waiting in view

{playful pizzicato strings accenting the beat} Throw off the heavy weight,

pack up the load We're running together down this golden road {snare

drum rolling build} {brass swell}

Looking unto Jesus,

the author of our race

Finishing our faith

with His mercy and His grace For the joy set before Him,

He endured the cross Now He's reigning high,

no matter what the cost!

(yeah!) {triumphant horn section and piano} When the toys are all scattered

and the day gets tough

We know that His promise is more than enough Keep your eyes

on the leader, don't lose your stride With a friend like Him

walking right by our side

{slide

whistle accent} {clarinet

counter-melody}

No looking to the left,

no looking to the right We walk by faith and we walk

by His light

To the very end line,

we're gonna stand tall

(hand in hand!) {playful dynamic drop} {solo acoustic guitar and tip-tap woodblocks}

Looking unto Jesus, the author of our race

Finishing our faith

with His mercy and His grace

For the joy

set before Him, He endured the cross

Now He's reigning high,

no matter what the cost!

{grand full band ending} Yeah,

He's reigning high! To the finish line and beyond!

(hahaha) {big final honky-tonk

chord}

{cheer and cymbal

crash}
