When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just putting on the ritz
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
And the Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason
That He shed His blood
His return is very close
You best be believing that
Our God is an awesome God
The sky was starless
In the void of the night
(Our God is an awesome God)
Spoke into the darkness
And created the light
(Our God is an awesome God)
Judgement and wrath
He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace
He gave us at the cross
I hope that we 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
Oh Lord, our Lord
How majestic is your name in all the earth
Oh Lord, our Lord
How majestic is your name in all the earth
Oh Lord, our Lord
How majestic is your name in all the earth
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
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome
Our God is an awesome
Our God is an awesome God
Ooh, our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
"Awesome God" by Point of Grace is a powerful song that captures the awe and majesty of our Creator. It is a cover of the original song written by Rich Mullins, and Point of Grace does an incredible job of bringing their own unique sound and harmonies to this timeless worship anthem.
The song starts off with the reminder that when God rolls up His sleeves, it's not just for show. There is power and authority in His every move.
