Here in this house of the great King
We come together now to worship Him
This house is built on Christ our rock
Cannot be shaken, cannot be shaken

God is awesome in this place
We sense His presence as we sing His praise
There is power here for a miracle
Set the captives free, make the broken whole

God is awesome, He's so awesome
God is awesome in this place

Here in this house of the great King
We come together now to worship Him
This house is built on Christ our rock
Cannot be shaken, cannot be shaken

God is awesome in this place
We sense His presence as we sing His praise
There is power here for a miracle
Set the captives free, make the broken whole

God is awesome, He's so awesome
God is awesome in this place

I've found where I belong, I'm a living stone
In this house I will grow
I've found where I belong, I'm a living stone
In this house we will grow

I've found where I belong, I'm a living stone
In this house I will grow
I've found where I belong, I'm a living stone
In this house I will grow

There is power here for a miracle
Set the captives free and the broken whole

Overall Meaning

The song "Awesome in This Place" by Darlene Zschech is a powerful anthem dedicated to worship and praise. The opening lines of the song, "Here in this house of the great King, we come together now to worship Him" invite listeners to join in the worship of God. The house being referred to is not a physical structure, but rather a spiritual dwelling, built on the foundation of Christ, which cannot be shaken. This song thus serves as a reminder that believers can come together in a place grounded in the faith, free from worldly distractions, and offer their praises to God.


The chorus of the song declares the awesomeness of God's presence and the power it holds. The tone of the song shifts towards a more personal experience as the lyrics move towards "I've found where I belong, I'm a living stone." This represents the feeling of an individual finding a home, a sense of community and belonging, in a spiritual gathering. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the overwhelming presence of God in that place of worship.


The song's central message is that worshiping together in a place of faith and trust in God enables His greatness to become more accessible to everyone in that place, moving Him to perform miracles and free the prisoners. It becomes clear that the song is a call to take action and be freed from one's spiritual captivity. Thus, "Awesome in This Place" serves as a reminder of the profound joy and healing that can come from a place of faith and worship.

I have recently been looking up all my most favorite songs off of the Hillsong cds I have, on youtube. It's like rediscovering these songs all over again. And best yet?! I can worship with them right here in my livingroom! Worship till you break a sweat! What a way to start my day!! What pandemic? What lockdown? Shut me up with Jesus! Best music I ever purchased! EVER!!! The two cd set that I have this song on, (Shout To The Lord, Vol. 2), literally stayed in the first slot in the cd changer in my pickup for over 10 years after I bought it. No kidding!
