‘God is great, give Him all the praise
Hallelujah, Name above all Names
Fire in His eyes, healing in His veins
Everywhere His glory on display’

This incredible song spent 23 weeks at #1 in 2025. If it sounds familiar, it is because Phil Wickham's ‘What An Awesome God’ is a modern rendition of Rich Mullins' classic song ‘Awesome God.’ It was reimagined with a new musical arrangement and updated lyrics while retaining the original's core message. 

Phil Wickham and his co-writer Jonathan Smith took the familiar chorus of Rich Mullins' ‘Awesome God’ and built a new song around it. They also honored Rich Mullins and his legacy by releasing ‘What An Awesome God’ on what would have been his 70th birthday.

“It’s hard to even describe what it means to me to share a small part of the legacy of this song,” Phil Wickham said. “What started as a fun idea in the studio grew into an unexpected new take on the ‘Awesome God’ story. It has quickly become one of my favorite songs to sing with the church, proudly declaring each night how awesome our God is! I’m honored to share this song with you all, and I pray that in the midst of your day, it helps you recognize ‘What An Awesome God’ we serve!”’

In this video, it is clear to see how this song moved everyone in that room. The worship was beautiful, and it reminds us all of how amazing and awesome our Heavenly Father is.

We hope you enjoyed listening to ‘What an Awesome God’ by Phil Wickham today!
