Rich Mullins Tribute Song
Story behind the song
Upon hearing the news of Rich Mullin's tragic and untimely death, I felt compelled to write a song in response to the news.
Lyrics
STILL AN AWESOME GOD
Lyrics by Peter Merz Music by Juan Tyus
I still see that autumn sunset
And hear the music of the nightingale’s song
And still feel Your awesome power
But sometimes winter night’s last too long
And true enough this life is seldom fair
Still God I can’t help wondering why
And yes I know You’re there
And God You are my God
You’re still an awesome God
Oh, God You are my God
You’re still an awesome
Father enthroned in heaven above
It’s not so much that I’m questioning Your love
There’s so things I don’t quite understand
Even so I’ll keep looking for Your footprints in the sand
CHORUS
Oh God, You are still an awesome God
The world around us may shift and change
But God You are the One Constant that will remain
Oh God, You are still an awesome God
You are still an awesome God
The Lord He giveth and taketh away
I don’t know why You’ve taken Rich away
But I know He’s singing in heaven today
Chariots of fire blaze across the sky
Unless a grain of wheat first dies
Images that inspire wonder
I hear a song amid this thunder
And Rich is singing
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG
You are an awesome God, You are
You are
