'Awesome God' is a contemporary worship song written by Rich Mullins and first recorded on his 1988 album, Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth. It was the first single from the album and rose to the number one spot on Christian radio and subsequently became a popular congregational song.[1] Its title is inspired by a biblical expression (Nehemiah 1:5, Nehemiah 9:32, Psalm 47, Daniel 9:4, etc.), variously translated as 'Awesome God', (JPS, in the old-fashioned meaning 'awe-inspiring'), 'great' (KJV), among other alternatives. Due to the popularity of the song it became Mullins' signature song.[2]

Commentary[edit]
Mullins did not consider the song to be one of his best. In an interview with The Lighthouse Electronic Magazine in April 1996, he said:
You know, the thing I like about Awesome God is that it's one of the worst-written songs that I ever wrote; it's just poorly crafted. But the thing is that sometimes, I think, that when you become too conscientious about being a songwriter, the message becomes a vehicle for the medium. This is a temptation that I think all songwriters have. I think a great songwriter is someone who is able to take a very meaningful piece of wisdom - or of folly or whatever - and say it in a way that is most likely to make people respond. But, what you want them to respond to is not how cleverly you did that; what you want them to respond to is your message.[3]
Cover versions[edit]
Over a year after Mullins' death (in September 1997)[2] the song was covered on a tribute album for Mullins entitled Awesome God: A Tribute to Rich Mullins by Contemporary Christian musician, Michael W. Smith.[4][5] Numerous other Christian artists have performed versions in numerous styles, from ska to swing to straight rock and traditional worship style, even hardcore punk and heavy metal bands, such as, Unashamed and Pantokrator.[6]

Our God is awesome the world is full of iconic figures
The people praise him they stock is up at a high percentage
The giants in our eyes, The sky’s the limit
The picture painted is larger than life but God is bigger
Yeah, God is Greater
I weighed Him on a scale, like CROCS and GATORS
Found that only God can save us
Yeah God is Gracious, that’s who we flock to,
In the day of trouble, an when we blow it like hot food

O.K. My Jesus The son Christ the King of Kings, And He’s God on earth
My Messiah born and raised to give us all a second birth,
And from heaven He came down, to free all that were bound
Oh God the four and twenty fell down casting down their crowns
Saying THOU art worthy LORD to receive
GLORY, HONOR, and POWER!!
So every Man, Woman, Boy, and Girl
LET’S REP THIS DECLARATION AROUND THE WORLD!
