Lyrics of
Awesome God

Rich Mullins wrote Awesome God in 1988, drawing inspiration from the idea that God is not just kind but also powerful. The song became one of the most popular worship songs of the 80s and 90s.

When He rolls up His sleeves He ain't just puttin' on the ritz
Our God is an awesome God
There is thunder in His footsteps and lightning in His fists
Our God is an awesome God
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 believin'
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
Our God is an awesome God
He spoke into the darknness and created the light
Our 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!
