Lyrics
Awesome, magnificent all sufficient God
Eternal redeemer, through His precious blood
Our fortress forever, on His name we call
Awesome, magnificent all sufficient God
Awesome, magnificent all sufficient God
Eternal redeemer, through His precious blood
Our fortress forever, on His name we call
Awesome, magnificent all sufficient God
He is here among us, in all His majesty
We have come to honour, our gracious King of kings
He has been so faithful, and He will remain
Join us as we worship, crown Him with praise
Awesome, magnificent all sufficient God
Eternal redeemer, through His precious blood
Our fortress forever, on His name we call
Awesome, magnificent all sufficient God
Shake hands with your neighbour
And say "it's good to be
In the presence of the blessed, holy Trinity"
Let us lift our voices to Christ who reigns above
Generously granting mercy, grace and love
Awesome, magnificent all sufficient God
Eternal redeemer, through His precious blood
Our fortress forever, on His name we call
Awesome, magnificent all sufficient God
Our fortress forever, on His name we call
Awesome, magnificent,
Awesome, magnificent
Awesome, magnificent all sufficient God

Meaning & Inspiration
Awesome, Magnificent is a direct song of corporate praise that names God as sufficient, eternal, faithful, and worthy of honor. Its recurring description of God as a fortress gives the worship a strong note of security, while the reference to redemption through precious blood places Christ’s saving work at the center. The chorus is simple and declarative, designed to return repeatedly to God’s character rather than to the circumstances of the worshippers.
The verses widen that praise into a gathered response. God’s presence among his people leads to honor for the King of kings, and remembered faithfulness supports confidence that he will remain faithful. The invitation for neighbors to greet one another presents worship as shared fellowship in the presence of the Trinity. Mercy, grace, and love are described as gifts generously given by the reigning Christ. Taken together, these lines unite assurance, redemption, and communal adoration, with each title contributing to the central confession that God is fully sufficient and deserves the praise of the assembled church.
