Editor's note

Rich Mullins wrote plainspoken songs about faith.

A folk-rock songwriter whose music became a staple in Christian circles.

For a sense of his style, 'Awesome God' and 'Hold Me Jesus' frame it well, they're simple, earnest, and built to last.

Songs like 'Awesome God' and 'Hold Me Jesus' turned into church standards, partly because Mullins wrote about belief without much polish. He recorded albums like 'A Liturgy, a Legacy, and a Ragamuffin Band' that mixed folk and rock, and his straightforward approach connected with listeners who wanted something direct. Even a later track like 'Boy Like Me/Man Like You' keeps that unadorned feel.

He started writing as a teenager after becoming a Christian, releasing his first album 'The World as I See It' in the early 1980s. By the late '80s, he was recording with musicians like Phil Keaggy, and he kept working until his death in 1997, leaving songs like 'Sometimes By Step' that are still sung.
