awesome god

"Awesome God" was a popular song 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. Many Christians bands have performed "cover" versions in various styles, from ska to swing to straight rock and traditional worship style. 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.
