The Lord my God is an Awesome God
He is God alone and He's Lord of Lords

Brian Courtney Wilson's song, "Awesome God," is a tribute to the all-powerful, all-knowing God that we serve. The lyrics begin by acknowledging God as the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, the Maker and Ruler of every living thing. This shows the greatness of God and how He reigns over everything on earth.
The song goes on to emphasize the fact that God is always on His throne, watching over and protecting His people. The chorus, "The Lord my God," is repeated six times, stating that God is our Lord and we are His people. The bridge then expounds on the greatness of God even more, calling Him an "Awesome God." In the bridge, the songwriter reiterates that God is capable of doing anything, that He is the great I AM, and that He is the only one who can bring new life.
The lyrics then transition towards the end of the bridge with a message of encouragement. The singer says that even when we're feeling down and alone, God gives us the grace we need to continue on. The Lord encourages us to hold on and be strong, assuring us that joy will come. The song concludes with another reminder that God is, indeed, an Awesome God.

When he performed this at Windsor Village, I was there.. Had just come home from incarceration the day before and went to church.. When this song started, something touched me.. By the time the choir started, I was in tears.. Then when BCW said "Don't give up, just hold on.." My soul had been touched. I NEVER cry, but that day I was driven to tears of joy and I thank God for giving this man the power of song. This song has become a theme song for me and I haven't been in trouble since.
