I'm sure someone here can help me, or at least I hope you can. I'm a big fan of the song Awesome God, but I know the Catholic church has some problems with the original lyrics by Rich Mullins. However, I heard that someone had written alternate lyrics for the song. Does anyone know/heard of these lyrics? I've been looking for a while without coming up with anything. The original lyrics for anyone who hasn't heard it go like this:
When He rolls up His sleeves He ain't just puttin' on the ritz,
Our God is an awesome God.
There's thunder in his footsteps and lightning in his fists,
our God is an awesome God.
And the Lord he wasn't joking when he kicked them out of Eden,
it wasn't for no reason that he shed his blood.
His return is very close and so we better be believin' that
our God is an awesome God.
Our God is an awesome God he reigns, over Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love our God is an awesome God.
When the sky was starless in the void of the night,
our God is an awesome God.
He spoke into the darkness and created the light,
our God is an awesome God.
The judgment and rath he poured out on Sodom,
the mercy and grace he gave us at the cross.
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
our God is an awesome God.
Our God is an awesome God he reigns, over Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love our God is an awesome God.
