Our God Is An Awesome God

When a choir launches into "Our God Is An Awesome God," the energy in the church shifts immediately. Originally written by Rich Mullins, this powerful anthem has become a beloved staple in Nigerian parishes, especially during lively praise sessions, youth Masses, or as a rousing recessional. The song’s driving rhythm and bold declarations make it a joy to sing and hear.

The verses tell a vivid story of divine power and mercy—from the thunder in His footsteps to the grace given at the cross. Meanwhile, the chorus is simple, repetitive, and incredibly catchy. By the time the choir hits the refrain, "He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love," the congregation is usually singing along, swept up in the sheer scale of God's majesty.

This particular solfa arrangement by Ehimanre Asuelinmen captures the song's dynamic build. It layers a soaring tenor solo over the choir's steady, rhythmic backing, creating a wonderful call-and-response feel before everyone unites in full harmony for the chorus.
