My God Is an Awesome God: When Worship Is a Personal Declaration

Our God is an awesome God — the Rich Mullins song has been sung at church camps, youth groups, and Sunday services for decades. But before it was a song, "awesome" was a theological descriptor: awe-inspiring, causing awe. The kind of awe that is simultaneously beautiful and overwhelming. The kind that makes you small in a way that feels right.

"My God is an awesome God" as a personal declaration — not our God but my God — is a statement of personal relationship alongside theological conviction. It's not describing a God who is impressive in the abstract. It's describing the God who has shown up in your specific life and done specific things that produced in you genuine awe.

What Makes a God Awesome

The word "awesome" has been worn down by casual use — awesome burrito, awesome game. Recovering its original weight matters. Awe is the response to encountering something that is both magnificent and beyond your full comprehension. It's the feeling when the diagnosis reversed unexpectedly. When the provision arrived in a way nobody could have engineered. When the prayer was answered in a form you didn't ask for but was exactly right.

In families with long testimonies of God's intervention, "my God is an awesome God" is a summary statement. It's shorthand for decades of specific moments where God showed up in ways that produced genuine awe — the kind that makes you shake your head and say: only God.
