(9,356 posts)Rich Mullins' awesomely awful hymn to his ass-kickin' Gawd, "Awesome God." Not being no poet myself, even I can see that this thing is just a mess. The lyrics seem to be a bunch of one-line rants randomly smushed together and the structure is bizarre.
Which I guess is what happens when you absolutely must work in your obligatory reference to Sodom. But I'm pretty sure ol' Rich's Gawd is not a "love the sinner/hate the sin" type of deity anyhow:
When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just puttin' on the Ritz
There is thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
Well the Lord He wasn't jokin'
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He shed His blood
His return is very close and so you better be believin'
That our God is an Awesome God
(REFRAIN)
Our God (our god) is an Awesome God
He Reigns (he reigns) from heaven above
With Wisdom (with wisdom) power and love
Our God is an Awesome God
When the sky was starless in the void of the night
He spoke into the darkness and created the light
Judgment and wrath He poured out to Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an Awesome God

(111,383 posts)I have only read excerpts of "50 Shades of Mommy Porn" and I don't listen to Xtian "rock" so they were only wild guesses. I just had a vague idea of the stilted language of the former and the overblown language of the latter.
I'll be passing this on to other godless reprobates.
