My Awesome God

O Lord, mighty God

How awesome and powerful You are

You rule with justice high above

In heights above the stars

 

With one word, You spoke the heavens

With one word, founded the earth

With love in Your heart, You called man from the dust

You filled him and gave him his worth

 

Your knowledge is too high for me

Your wisdom I cannot attain

At Your feet I humbly bow

I will never be the same

 

You are God - there is no other

Greater than what eyes can see

Yet fear still grips me, with doubt I still struggle

I've hidden my face from Thee

 

So many idols remain in my life

Things I've refused to let go of

Selfishness, pride - they rage deep inside

But I lay them now down at your feet

 

My eyes I fix upon Your truth

My heart I set upon Your Word

I'll run this race with strength from You

A new creation to finally emerge

 

Forgive me, Lord, and cleanse me within

Renew this darkened mind

Change me, transform me, purge out the sin

For You I lay down my life

 

You are my God, there is no other

Greater than what eyes can see

Your power's at work changing me

Who You have purposed I'll be
