In one of the features on Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch, the supply clerk taken prisoner in an ambush on March 23 and rescued by United States forces, there was a shot of a large group of students at her high school in Palestine, West Virginia. They were gathered together for thanksgiving prayer, singing a Rich Mullins song.



Awesome God



When He rolls up His sleeves

He ain't just putting on the ritz

There's thunder in His footsteps

And lightning in His fists.



Our God is an awesome God

He reigns from heaven above

With wisdom, power, and love

Our God is an awesome God



The Lord wasn't joking

When He kicked 'em out of Eden

It wasn't for no reason

That He shed His blood

His return is very close

And so you better be believing that

Our God is an awesome God



And when the sky was starless

In the void of the night

(God is an awesome God)

He spoke into the darkness

And created the light

(God is an awesome God)

Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom

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 from heaven above

With wisdom, power, and love

Our God is an awesome God
