Awesome God
R. Mullins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He ain't just putting on the ritz
(Our God is an awesome God)
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
(Our God is an awesome God)
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
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 darkness
And created the light
(Our God is an awesome God)
Judgment and wrath He poured out on the Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that you 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
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 (He reigns from heaven above)
With wisdom, power, and love (With wisdom, power, and love)
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God

God is the Creator who spoke everything into existence, including light, and has the power to create out of nothing. His ability to bring order to chaos is remarkable and worthy of praise.

I was lying down this morning feeling sorry for myself. I needed to feel something more than the physical pain I was going through. I pray but it just didn't seem enough. I wanted to feel the Lord present. I tried to sing but didn't knew all the words. So I looked up songs. I heard this version from other artists. This song from this artist was what I needed. My pain his still with me. But I found what I was looking for. Thanks so much for posting this song. Blessing to everyone! 😇
