From the album Adoration: The Worship Album (Sparrow Records, 2003)
This was the Newsboys tenth album but their first strictly worship album, so it was a bit of a risk for a band that dominated the Christian Pop charts for almost a decade. The gamble paid off as Adoration: The Worship Album became the best selling artist-worship album of 2003 and was nominated for both a Grammy and a Dove award. He Reigns claimed the #1 spot on the Christian Pop Chart for five straight weeks and was the most played song of the year.
In an interview with Kim Jones of ChristianMusic.About.com, drummer Duncan Phillips talked about He Reigns being one of his favorite songs on the album. "When I first started hearing the roughs of He Reigns it was like 'Oh my gosh.' This song is bigger than the Newsboys. It's got kind of this global reach about it. I was just so excited. I guess that would be one of my favorites."
The album peaked at #33 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and #1 on the Christian Albums chart. It has since been certified Gold with sales of over 500,000 copies. He Reigns peaked at #4 on the Christian Hot Songs chart and at #1 on both the Christian Adult Contemporary and Christian Hit Radio charts.
