Rich Mullins “Awesome God” Share Worthy Song

Long before worship music filled arenas or playlists, there were songs that felt more like prayers than performances — songs that didn’t try to impress, but simply pointed upward with childlike awe. “Awesome God” by Rich Mullins is one of those rare songs. It’s simple, but not shallow. Familiar, but never worn out. It carries the kind of reverence that makes you stop, breathe, and remember who God really is — not just in theory, but in power, in mercy, and in the everyday moments where His presence breaks through our ordinary lives.

Rich Mullins had a way of writing that felt almost prophetic — raw, poetic, and deeply rooted in Scripture. He never chased fame or polish; he chased truth. “Awesome God” was born out of that pursuit. It wasn’t crafted to be a hit. It was written as a declaration, a reminder that the God we worship isn’t distant or passive. He is holy. He is mighty. He is compassionate. Mullins’ voice carries that conviction with a humility that makes the song feel less like a performance and more like a moment of worship captured in time. His ministry was always about pointing people back to the heart of God, and this song remains one of the clearest reflections of that mission.

The heartbeat of the song echoes the words, “Who is like You, Lord God Almighty? You, Lord, are mighty, and Your faithfulness surrounds You.” — Psalm 89:8. It’s a verse that captures both the strength and the tenderness of God — the same balance Mullins wove into every line. “Awesome God” reminds us that His power isn’t something to fear; it’s something to rest in. It’s the assurance that the One who holds the universe also holds us, even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

For anyone who has walked through seasons where God felt distant, this song becomes a gentle reminder that His presence is closer than we think. It mirrors the truth of “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.” — Zephaniah 3:17. Mullins understood that worship isn’t just about singing — it’s about remembering. Remembering who God is. Remembering what He’s done. Remembering that His strength is not abstract but deeply personal. “Awesome God” invites listeners to lift their eyes from the weight of their circumstances and fix them on the One who never changes.

There’s also a quiet reverence in the way the song reflects the words, “Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty.” — 1 Chronicles 29:11. Mullins didn’t write worship songs to entertain; he wrote them to awaken something in the soul. “Awesome God” does exactly that. It calls us back to wonder — the kind of wonder that softens the heart, strengthens faith, and reminds us that God’s glory isn’t just something we read about. It’s something we can experience.

If your spirit has been tired or your faith has felt dim, let this song draw you back to the awe you may have forgotten. Let it remind you that God is still powerful, still present, still worthy of every breath of worship. Now is the time to pause, to look up, and to let the greatness of God steady your heart again. His glory hasn’t faded. His love hasn’t weakened. And His presence is still the safest place you can stand.

Rich Mullins’ timeless single “Awesome God,” from his album Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth, remains one of the most enduring declarations of God’s majesty and faithfulness. It’s a song that continues to stir hearts, awaken worship, and remind believers of the greatness of the God they serve.
