Oh Mighty, Wondrous, Awesome God
Oh Mighty, Wondrous, Awesome God
I come before you now
To magnify and honor you,
At your feet I humbly bow.
You are amazing; you are steadfast,
Lord, you meet my every need.
It is only by your provision
If through this day I will succeed.
When I realize how you provide
You give food and drink and rest,
Needs of my body, mind and soul,
In the ways that you deem best.
All of the blessings I enjoy
Come from Your mighty hand.
The sunsets, the moon, the twinkling stars
Rain that nourishes the dry land,
The beautiful colors of nature,
Birds that sing up in the trees
Radiant blue skies, white puffy clouds
Lord, you gave all this to me.
My Mighty, Wondrous, Awesome God
Praise and honor to you I give.
Provider, Redeemer, Sustainer and Friend
You give breath to me and I live.
