Jesus Sits and Rules

Tonight someone's candidate will win.
Jesus sits and rules.
Tonight someone's candidate will lose.
Jesus sits and rules.
Tonight people will think their "savior" has come.
Jesus sits and rules.
Tonight people will be angry their "savior" lost.
Jesus sits and rules.
Tonight people will think they found hope.
Jesus sits and rules.
Tonight people will feel lost and defeated.
Jesus sits and rules.
Tonight people will feel safe under a new "king".
Jesus sits and rules.
Tonight people will fear the strength of a new leader.
Jesus sits and rules.
Tonight people will hope change has come.
Jesus sits and rules.
Tonight people will dread the same old song and dance.
Jesus sits and rules.

"The Lord looks down from heaven;
he sees all the children of man;
from where he sits enthroned he looks out
on all the inhabitants of the earth,
he who fashions the hearts of them all
and observes all their deeds.
The king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
and by its great might it cannot rescue.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love,
that he may deliver their soul from death
and keep them alive in famine.

Our soul waits for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
For our heart is glad in him,
because we trust in his holy name.
Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you."

Psalm 33:13-22 ESV

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
Hebrews 1: 1-4
