who wrote the song our god is an awesome god
Awesome God "Awesome God" is a contemporary worship song written by Rich Mullins and first recorded on his 1988 album, Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth. It was the first single from the album and rose to the number one spot on Christian radio and subsequently became a popular congregational song.[1] Its title is inspired by a biblical expression (Nehemiah 1:5, Nehemiah 9:32, Psalm 47, Daniel 9:4, etc.), variously translated as "Awesome God", (JPS, in the old-fashioned meaning "awe-inspiring"), "great" (KJV), among other alternatives. Due to the popularity of the song it became Mullins' signature song.[2]
Great Big God In 2000, Nigel Hemming was approached by Vineyard Records UK to co-produce the first Vineyard UK children’s worship album.[1] The song entitled 'Great Big God', written by Nigel and Jo Hemming,[2] was recorded and became the title track of the first album to be released under the brand (Great Big God – released in September 2001).[3] The following Easter, the song was chosen for use in the all age worship slot at Spring Harvest, a national worship and teaching event in UK, and was featured on the live recording, Spring Harvest - Kids Praise 2002.
