"Awesome God" was a popular hymn in America during the late 1980s. It was written by Rich Mullins who died in a car accident in 1997, and is considered one of his best. Its lyrics are simple, clear and repetetive to emphasise its description of the nature of the Christian God (sometimes called Yaweh)
- as powerful
- as righteous
- being a source of truth (described as "light")
- as judgmental but also merciful
More obliquely, it refers to God
- becoming man and being crucified
- creating the world
It is "biblical" insofar as its words are based in part on translations of the Bible, and it refers to assertions and descriptions there.
