Awesome God

I forgot to tell this adorable story! Last week I taught my 4th and 5th graders the song Awesome God, including the first verse. 6th grade had learned the song (thanks to Miss Heidi) and when they sang it for chapel, my kids demanded to learn it. I wrote the words on the board and sang it through with all four of my Bible classes (4A, 4B, 5A, and 5B) all week long. Honestly, it got a annoying.

On Thursday my 4B class (the WORST behaved class) begged me, 'Miss! Can we sing Awesome God today???' again. A little wearily, I agreed. We started the verse:

When he rolls up his sleeves he ain't just puttin' on the ritz.
Our God is an awesome God.
There is thunder in his footsteps and lightning in his fists.
Our God is an awesome God.
And the Lord he wasn't joking when He kicked 'em out of Eden,
and it wasn't for no reason that he shed his blood.
His return is very soon and so you better be believin' that
Our God is an awesome God.

(you have no idea how cute that sounds in Spanish accents)

Then they blasted the chorus as loud as they possibly could:

Our God is an awesome God,
He reigns from Heaven above
with wisdom, power and love.
Our God is an awesome God.

As the force of their singing hit me I couldn't help but realize the power of our God. He hears these kids' praise. He cares for each one.

He really is awesome.
