I was introduced to this song a few years ago at a multicultural church I served, as it was both on a recent WOW Gospel album and being requested to be sung at an in-church ladies' retreat. The chord progression for "Awesome" by Charles Jenkins is very simple and the song is a moving and worshipful ballad, naming many attributes of God during the bridge. Lyrics below:
My God is awesome, He can move mountains
Keep me in the valley, hide me from the rain
My God is awesome, heals me when I'm broken
Strength where I've been weakened, forever He will reign
My God is awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome
My God is awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome
My God is awesome, Savior of the whole world
Giver of salvation, by His stripes I am healed
My God is awesome, today I am forgiven His grace is why I'm living, praise His holy name
He's mighty (echo), He's mighty (echo), He's mighty (echo), He's mighty (echo)
Awesome, awesome
He's holy (echo), He's holy (echo), He's holy (echo), He's holy (echo)
Awesome, awesome
He's great (echo), He's great (echo), He's great (echo), He's great (echo)
Awesome, awesome
Deliverer (echo), Deliverer (echo), Deliverer (echo), Deliverer (echo)
Awesome, awesome
Provider (echo), Provider (echo), Provider (echo), Provider (echo)
Awesome, awesome
Protector (echo), Protector (echo), Protector (echo), Protector (echo)
Awesome, awesome
