Awesome God

He ain't just putting on the ritz (Our God is an awesome God) ① When He rolls up His sleeves He ain't just putting on the ritz (Our God is an awesome God)

There's thunder in His footsteps And lightning in His fists (Our God is an awesome God)

And the Lord wasn't joking 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 believing that Our God is an awesome God

© Our God is an awesome God he reigns  From heaven above with wisdom, power and love Our God is an awesome God

(Our God is an awesome God) ② And when the sky was starless In the void of the night (Our God is an awesome God)

He spoke into the darkness And created the light (Our God is an awesome God)

Too quickly forgotten that Our God is an awesome God Judgement and wrath He poured out on 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

Scripture Reading Judges 8:22-34 33 33

Judges 8:22-34（1/8） 22 The Israelites said to Gideon, “Rule over us—you, your son and your grandson— because you have saved us from the hand of Midian.” 23 But Gideon told them, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. The Lord will rule over you.” 34 34

Judges 8:22-34（2/8） 24 And he said, “I do have one request, that each of you give me an earring from your share of the plunder.” (It was the custom of the Ishmaelites to wear gold earrings.) 35 35

Judges 8:22-34（3/8） 25 They answered, “We’ll be glad to give them.” So they spread out a garment, and each of them threw a ring from his plunder onto it. 36 36

Judges 8:22-34（4/8） 26 The weight of the gold rings he asked for came to seventeen hundred shekels,[a] not counting the ornaments, the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian or the chains that were on their camels’ necks. 37 37

Judges 8:22-34（5/8） 27 Gideon made the gold into an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family. 38 38

29 Jerub-Baal son of Joash went back home to live. Judges 8:22-34（6/8） 28 Thus Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head again. During Gideon’s lifetime, the land had peace forty years. 29 Jerub-Baal son of Joash went back home to live. 30 He had seventy sons of his own, for he had many wives. 39 39

Judges 8:22-34（7/8） 31 His concubine, who lived in Shechem, also bore him a son, whom he named Abimelek. 32 Gideon son of Joash died at a good old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 40 40

Judges 8:22-34（8/8） 33 No sooner had Gideon died than the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals. They set up Baal-Berith as their god 34 and did not remember the Lord their God, who had rescued them from the hands of all their enemies on every side. ” 41 41

10000 Reasons

© Bless the Lord O my soul O my soul Worship His Holy name

Sing like never before O my soul I’ll worship Your Holy name

① The sun comes up It’s a new day dawning It’s time to sing Your song again

Whatever may pass And whatever lies before me Let me be singing When the evening comes

② You’re rich in love And You’re slow to anger Your name is great And Your heart is kind

For all Your goodness I will keep on singing Ten thousand reasons For my heart to find

③ And on that day When my strength is failing The end draws near And my time has come

Still my soul will Sing Your praise unendingTen thousand years And then forevermore
