Spirit of death
You have no place here
I command that you leave
In Jesus’ name

Spirit of fear
You have no place here
I command that you leave
In Jesus’ name
You’re not welcome here
So go, just go

Spirit of doubt
You have no place here
I command that you leave
In Jesus’ name

Envy and jealousy
You have no place here
I command you to leave in Jesus’ name
Go back from whence you came ‘cause

Our God reigns here
Our God reigns here
We claim this ground
In Jesus’ name
‘Cause our God reigns
Our God reigns here
Our God reigns here
The battle’s won
Have no fear
’Cause God reigns here
He reigns here, our God

Anger and rage
Guilt and shame
I command you to leave
In Jesus’ name

Depression, anxiety
Addiction, infirmity
I command you to leave
In Jesus’ name
Go back from whence you came ‘cause

God reigns here, there’s no doubt, He has overcome the world
God reigns here, there’s no doubt, He has overcome the world
God reigns here, there’s no doubt, He has overcome the world
Our God reigns

Behind the Song:
"While on a mission trip to Wales we came to a coal mining town that had experienced an unthinkable tragedy more than half a century ago. A landslide came crashing down on the town, wiped out an elementary school and killed more than 160 people, most of them children. Someone said it was as if the spirit of death still reigned over the town. My spirit rose up within me. Jesus reigns. He has defeated death. He has conquered death. Therefore, the spirit of death has no right to reign in this town. I wrote this song to call out the spirit of death, fear, doubt, depression, anxiety, addiction, anger, rage – spirits that are assigned to wreak havoc and destruction. This song rebukes these spirits in Jesus name, and declares that “Our God Reigns Here." - John Waller
