Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom power and love
Our God is an awesome God

Now when He rolled up His sleeves He wasn’t putting on the ritz
Our God is an awesome God
There’s thunder in his foot steps and lightning in His fists
Our God is an awesome God
And the Lord wasn’t jokin' when He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn’t for no reason that He shed His blood
His return is very soon and so ya’ll better be believin'
Our God is an awesome God

Stepout (with four parts in background):
Yes we know that He’s awesome
And He reigns with power and wisdom

Now when the sky was starless in the void of the night
Our God is an awesome God
He spoke unto the darkness and created the light
Our God is an awesome God
The judgment and wrath He poured out on Sodom
His mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not to quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God
