Verse 1
We are standing here on holy ground
Our hearts in awe of You we bow down
Through the fire Your voice is ringing out
In Your presence may my life be found
Pre-Chorus
Adonai, El Shaddai, You are God Almighty
Age to age, You remain, the Great I am

Holy, all the saints cry holy
Who compares to You? Our awesome God
Glory, in majesty You reign now
So good in all your ways
Our awesome God, our awesome God

We are waiting here for holy power
Our lives ransomed by the Saviour's blood
Tongues of fire come fall afresh on us
With Your Presence come and send us out

We will lift our voice, we sing out Your praise
God of wondrous grace, moving in this place
Angels join the song, nations will bow down
You are worthy Lord, our awesome God

Meaning & Inspiration
Our Awesome God is a worship song that stands on holy ground and honors the awesome God. The first verse describes standing in awe, bowing down, hearing His voice ringing through the fire and asking that life be found in His presence. The pre-chorus names Him Adonai, El Shaddai, God Almighty and the Great I Am from age to age, and the chorus has the saints crying holy and asking who compares, calling Him an awesome God who reigns in majesty.
The second verse waits for holy power, lives ransomed by the Savior's blood, and tongues of fire falling afresh before being sent out, and the bridge lifts voices of praise, with angels joining and nations bowing before the worthy Lord. The titles come from Genesis 17:1 and Exodus 3:14, the holy ground from Exodus 3:5, the fire from Acts 2:3-4, and the worship from Revelation 4:8 and Psalm 47:2. The building structure suits corporate worship.
