Awesome God

"Awesome God" was a popular song in America during the late 1980s. It was written by Rich Mullins who died in a car accident in 1997, and is considered one of his best. Many Christians bands have performed "cover" versions in various styles, from ska to swing to straight rock and traditional worship style. Its lyrics are simple, clear and repetetive to emphasise its description of the nature of the Christian God (sometimes called Yahweh)
- as powerful
- as righteous
- being a source of truth (described as "light")
- as judgmental but also merciful
- is holy, awesome, and powerful; someone that can save you from something that you cannot hide from
More obliquely, it refers to God
It is "biblical" insofar as its words are based in part on translations of the Bible, and it refers to assertions and descriptions there.
