He Reigns: The Worship Collection is the second major compilation album for the Christian rock group Newsboys. It was the last album to feature Bryan Olesen. 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.
