Awesome God
by Rich Mullins
psalm 145
- Verse 1 -

Em
When He rolls up His sleeves, He ain't just puttin' on the ritz.
     C         D       Em 
Our God is an awesome God.
Em
There is thunder in His footsteps and lightning in His fists.
     C         D       Em
Our God is an awesome God.
         C                
And the Lord wasn't joking when He kicked 'em out of Eden,
    D                            Em
It wasn't for no reason that he shed His blood.
        C 
His return is very close and so you'd better be believing that
     C         D       Em
Our God is an awesome God.


- Chorus -

     C         G               D           Em  
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven above,
      C       G                   Am        B7      Em      
With wisdom, power and love, our God is an awesome God.

(Repeat)


- Verse 2 -

Em
And when the sky was starless in the void of the night,
     C         D       Em
Our God is an awesome God.
Em
He spoke into the darkness and created the light.
     C         D       Em 
Our God is an awesome God.
         C 
And the judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom,
     D                  Em
His mercy and grace He gave us at the cross.
   C
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
     C         D       Em            
Our God is an awesome God.
