Meaning & Inspiration
“I’m In Awe” by Mercy Chinwo is a Nigerian worship song of wonder at who God is. The repeated lines are plain and personal: “You make life so beautiful, oh Lord,” and “I’m in awe of You.” Another line, “What a privilege to be called Your own,” gives the reason for the awe, which is belonging to God.
The bridge turns to what God does: “You make all things new, you turn things around, reliable God.” That is close to Revelation 21:5, where the one on the throne says He makes all things new. A later line, “What a privilege to be called the son of the living God,” echoes 1 John 3:1 about being called children of God.
Because the lyric is mostly repetition, it works as a spoken or sung prayer of gratitude. The message is thankfulness, trust in God’s reliability, and joy in being His own.
