He Reigns: The Worship Collection is the second major compilation album for the Christian rock group Newsboys. After the group left Sparrow Records, the label decided to release a new compilation album. While their first compilation Shine: The Hits covered their best-known songs, He Reigns: The Worship Collection covered the softer, more "inspirational" songs in the latter part of the group's career (from 1999's Love Liberty Disco album to their most recent set, Devotion ) leaving off some of their most well-known "pop" songs (most notably "Love Liberty Disco", "Good Stuff," "Joy", "Who?" and "Million Pieces (Kissin' Your Cares Goodbye)") released during this time period.
