Awesome God is a praise and worship CD for kids produced by Sovereign Grace Ministries. I read about an offer before Christmas of a free CD for bloggers who would review the CD on their blogs. So I emailed Sovereign Grace, and my urchins are enjoying the fruits of my having done so.

Seriously, the urchins have been listening to Awesome God ever since I unveiled it at the beginning of the year. My younger children like to worship/dance, even if we are Baptist, and these songs are perfect for dancing and singing along. The songs are basic praise and worship type stuff, musically speaking, some with a beat and others slower and more contemplative. The accompaniment uses drums, guitar and keyboard, the instruments you would expect on this kind of CD. Vocals employ both children’s and adult voices.

The lyrics are the strength of this CD. Scripture-based songs alternate with others that present foundational theology in song. Scripture songs include You Are Always With Me (Psalm 139) and Who Is Like You? (Job). Jesus Came to Earth seems to be a restatement of the Apostle’s Creed. And others of the songs teach about God’s sovereignty and about the doctrine of the Trinity. The CD includes twelve songs in all. The words are meaningful and understandable, and a booklet with printed lyrics comes inside the CD case.

I can testify that my children, at least, are really enjoying and learning from Awesome God. If you’re interested in ordering a copy for your kids or for yourself, just click on the picture to go to the Sovereign Grace Ministries store. They also have T-shirts and sheet music available. I can see this CD being helpful to children’s worship leaders or for use in Vacation Bible School this next summer. Or just listen and dance before the Lord.
