(Wow) our God is an awesome God, he reigns
From heaven above with wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome
Who knows it comes on
Our God is an- (awesome God, he reigns)
(From heaven above with wisdom) -dom power and love
Our God is an awesome God
Well, I've been singing that since as long as I've known music you know
It came out when I was four, the original but it's brilliant, beautiful
And a man named, ah, Rich Mullins
Any of you guys remember Mr. Rich Mullins, any of you guys from the 80's?
Well, he passed away kind of before I even got into music
And I learned about him later
And then Michael W. Smith picked up that song
And put out such a beautiful version and
We weren't even planning on doing anything with this song
And uh, and then we were singing it in the studio just late one night
I remember how all the guys in the room
Just grew up singing it since they were kids, you know
And I just started writing down some lyrics, and these chords were going
And I started singing this, and it was going-, uh
God is great, give him all the praise
Hallelujah, name above all names
Fire in his eyes, healing in his veins
Everywhere is glory on display
Take a look at those stars, he can name them all
Before his throne, every knee falls
The demons have to run, the angels have to praise
Uh, even the wind and waves obey
Our God is an awesome God, he reigns
From heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
And I started singing it into the mic with my band
And they all kind of looked at me like
Is that how the song goes?
I'm like, no, I just wrote it, is it good? They're like, yeah
I was like, really? And then literally, over the next five minutes
We wrote another verse and it went, okay
They're like, keep going, I was like, okay
So I took five minutes and then it goes
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
Glory to the Lamb, glory to the King
Let all the saints and the angels sing
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
And they're like, "Um, this is... I think this is good
Like, I think so and then they're like
What about, like, singing about heaven too?
And they literally, five, then we kind of got together and wrote
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
Then we went
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
(Woah) that's what we did
And we were like, oh, this is so special
Then we started recording it, we where like
We can't wait to sing this
And then we're like, are we allowed to do this?
This really isn't our song
And then we called my label, and they're like
You're actually not allowed to do that
No, I'm like, oh! They're like, we can ask
And so we literally reached out to the trust that owns Awesome God
Like, is this good enough for us to put out?
They're like, we love this can you release it, please?
And so we're putting it out
Isn't that so cool? No one
I literally haven't sung this to any other
This is the first time I've shared it with anybody, because we've
And this felt like the right moment
So I think the week before Easter, it's going to come out
But they said, but you have to call it a different name
Because Awesome God is Awesome God
We don't want people to be confused
We're like, OK and so I ended the song
I was like, well, let's just change the last lyrics
At the very end it goes
Oh God, what an awesome God
And they're like, what an awesome God?
I was like, sure
So it's going to be called "What an Awesome God"
And it's coming out soon (woah)
