Our God is an Awesome but not quite so offensevily described God...

So for a project I needed to reform "Our God is an Awesome God" to make the lyrics approachable to a broader group of Christians... here is said remake... This remake refashions the warrior God imagery, takes away the male exclusive language, and recognizes trinitarian  and incarnational doctrine.

 

When God puts on a show
It’s not just putting on the ritz
(Our God is an awesome God)
There's thunder in God’s dancing
And lightning in God’s midst
(Our God is an awesome God)
And the Lord wasn't joking when He came down from heaven
It wasn't for no reason that Christ shed His blood
To share God’s love with all is what we are believing, that

Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Who reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Who reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night
(Our God is an awesome God)
The Spirit moved in the darkness
And created the light
(Our God is an awesome God)
Judgement and wrath poured out on oppresors
Mercy and grace is given at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Who reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Who reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Who reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
