Lyrics
Awesome in this Place
Here in this house of the great king
We've come together now to worship Him
This house is built on Christ ourrock
Cannot be shaken
Cannot be shaken
God is awesome in this place
We sense his presence as we sing his praise
There is power here for miracle
Set the captives free and make the broken whole
God is awesome
He’s so awesome
God is awesome in this place( x2)
I’ve found where I belong
Our living stone
In this house
I will grow
There is power in the miracle
Set the curtains free with a broken heart
God is awesome
He’s so awesome ( x3)
God is awesome in this place

Meaning & Inspiration
"God Is Awesome" is a congregational declaration of God’s presence and power. The opening places the worshipping community in a house built on Christ, where stability comes from him rather than from the surroundings. The repeated claim that God is awesome makes adoration the song’s central act.
The lyrics also associate God’s presence with healing, freedom, and restoration. The language of captives being set free recalls Jesus’ announcement in Luke 4:18, while the image of believers as living stones echoes 1 Peter 2:5. Together, these images present the church as both a place of worship and a people being built up in Christ. The closing repetition keeps the focus on God’s character and on the sense of belonging found in his house.
