What an Awesome God Lyrics

[Verse 1: Phil Wickham]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Phil Wickham]
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
Even the winds and waves obey

[Chorus: Phil Wickham & Choir, Choir & Phil Wickham]
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 is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above
With wisdom, with wisdom power and love
Our God is an awesome God

[Verse 2: Phil Wickham]
And even when I ran
He didn't run away
He came and put death back in it's place
Friday on a cross, broken for my shame
Sunday morning rose up from that grave

[Pre-Chorus: Phil Wickham]
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

[Chorus: Phil Wickham & Choir, Choir & Phil Wickham]
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

[Verse 3: Phil Wickham]
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

[Bridge: Phil Wickham & Choir]
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
Our God is an awesome God
Forever we sing

[Chorus: Phil Wickham & Choir, Choir & Phil Wickham]
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
Our God is an awesome God
Our God, what an awesome God

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
