"The Awesome"

"The Awesome"

Check my song player for the Awesome God. I finally managed to obtain the original version of the song which is performed by DC Talk. The song performed by United Live is just a repeat of the chorus throughout the entire song without the verse. Listen to the song w/ reading the post :)

"Awesome God" was a popular worship song in America during the late 1980s. It was written by Rich Mullins who died in a car accident in 1997, and is considered one of his best. Many Christian bands have performed "cover" versions in various styles, from ska to swing to straight rock and traditional worship style. Its lyrics are simple, clear and repetitive to emphasise its description of the nature of the Christian God;

• Powerful
• Righteous
• Truthful
• Judgemental, yet Merciful
• Holy
• Awesome
• Someone that can save you from something that you cannot hide from

More obliquely, it refers to God;

• becoming man and being crucified
• creating the world
• and saving you

Awesome God

When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just putting on the ritz
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
The Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason
That He shed His blood
His return is very close
And so you better be believing that
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God

And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night (God is an awesome God)
He spoke into the darkness
And created the light (God is an awesome God)
Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not
Too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God (Our God is an awesome God)
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God (Our God is an awesome God)
He reigns from heaven above (He reigns)
With wisdom, power, and love (With wisdom and power)
God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
