What An Awesome God – English Lyrics

• By: Phil Wickham

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

God is great, give Him all the praise

Hallelujah, Name above all names

Fire in His eyes, healing in His veins

Everywhere, His glory on display

Take a look at those stars, He can name 'em all

Before His throne every knee falls

The demons have to run, the angels have to praise

Even the winds and waves obey

Our God is an awesome God, He reigns (He reigns)

From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love

Our God is an awesome God (our God)

Our God is an awesome God, He reigns

From Heaven above with wisdom (with wisdom), power, and love

Our God is an awesome God

And even when I ran, He didn't run away

He came and put death back in its place

Friday on a cross, broken for my shame

Sunday morning rose up from that grave

Take a look at those scars on His hands and feet

He saved our souls for eternity

Worthy is the Lamb, glory to the King

Oh, let all the saints and the angels sing

Our God is an awesome God, He reigns

From Heaven above with wisdom (with wisdom), power, and love

Our God is an awesome God

Our God (our God) is an awesome God, He reigns (He reigns)

From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love

Our God is an awesome God

Eyes on the sky, there will be a day

He will come and wipe our tears away

No more fear, no more pain

No more sorrow, sin or shame

The King is coming back again

A reign of love that will never end

For everything You've done and everything You do

And everything You are, I'll sing to You

My God, You're an awesome God

You're great in all You do

I'm made to worship You

My God, You're an awesome God

What an awesome, awesome God You are

No one like You, none beside You

God, we worship You

(Our God is an awesome God)

(He reigns from heaven above) You're worthy, You're worthy

(With wisdom, power, and love) with wisdom, power, and love

(Our God is an awesome God) oh, forever we sing

Our God is an awesome God

He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love

Our God is an awesome God (He's an aw-, He's 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

Our God, what an awesome God
