Song Lyrics
The Call to Rule
Verse 1:
At the door of every heart, sin crouches, lies in wait,
But with Christ within us, we command the gate.
Called to rule, not under, but above,
Empowered by His Spirit, led by His love.
Chorus:
The call to rule, in Jesus’ name,
Over sin, over shame.
With authority from above,
In the power of His love.
Verse 2:
Not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit’s lead,
In every thought, in every deed.
We stand firm, where He has trod,
Ruling with the rod of God.
Chorus:
The call to rule, in Jesus’ name,
Over sin, over shame.
With authority from above,
In the power of His love.
Bridge:
Hear the Spirit whisper, calling us to rise,
Above the fray, beyond the lies.
In Christ, the victory already won,
We claim our inheritance, in the Son.
Chorus:
The call to rule, in Jesus’ name,
Over sin, over shame.
With authority from above,
In the power of His love.
Outro:
So we’ll walk in dominion, with hearts ablaze,
Upholding His statutes, living His ways.
Under His banner, forever secure,
In Jesus, our rule is pure.
Pray for believers to rise in true authority—submitted, Spirit-empowered, and reigning in love. May you rule with humility and boldness, clothed in Christ’s victory, seated with Him in heavenly places.Spiritual Engagement
