[Verse 1]
When He Emrolls up His sleeves He ain't just puttin' on the ritz
Our Am7God is an Bm7awesome GoEmd
There is tEmhunder in His footsteps and lightning in His fists
Our Am7God is an aBm7wesome GodEm  
And the Am7Lord wasn't joking when He kicked 'em out of Eden
It Bm7wasn't for no reason that He shed His blood
His reCturn is very close and so you betAm7ter be believin'
That our Am7God is an Bm7awesome GEmod
[Chorus]
Our CGod is an Gawesome God
He Dreigns from Emheaven above
With Cwisdom, Gpower and love
Our Am7God is an Bm7awesome GEmod!
Our CGod is an Gawesome God
He Dreigns from Emheaven above
With Cwisdom, Gpower and love
Our Am7God is an Bm7awesome GEmod!
[Verse 2]
And when the Emsky was starless in the void of the night
Our Am7God is aBm7n awesome EmGod
He spoke iEmnto the darkness and created the light
Our Am7God is aBm7n awesome EmGod
Am7Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Bm7Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I Chope that we have not too quAm7ickly forgotten
That ouAm7r God is Bm7an awesome EmGod!
[Chorus]
Our CGod is an Gawesome God
He Dreigns from Emheaven above
With Cwisdom, Gpower and love

The story behind the song

"Awesome God," a signature song for Rich Mullins from his 1988 album Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth, is a powerful reminder of divine might and majesty. The lyrics paint a picture of a God who is not just "putting on the ritz" but actively reigns with serious intent, as seen in the expulsion from Eden. It's a call to remember the awe-inspiring nature of the divine, drawing on biblical expressions. Despite Mullins' own humble view of its craftsmanship, the song's direct message made it a widely embraced congregational favorite, playing like a joyful, emphatic declaration of faith.
