Richard Wayne Mullins (October 21, 1955 – September 19, 1997) was an American contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter best known for his worship songs “Awesome God” and “Step by Step”. Some of his albums were also considered among Christian music’s best, including Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth (1988), The World As Best As I Remember It, Volume One (1991) and A Liturgy, a Legacy, & a Ragamuffin Band (1993). His songs have been performed by numerous artists, including Caedmon’s Call, Five Iron Frenzy, Amy Grant, Carolyn Arends, Jars of Clay, Michael W. Smith, John Tesh, Chris Rice, Rebecca St. James, Hillsong United and Third Day. During the tribute to Rich Mullins’ life at the 1998 GMA Dove Awards, Amy Grant described him as “the uneasy conscience of Christian music.”
From 1975 to 1978, he was the youth pastor and music director at the United Methodist Church in Erlanger. Mullins was then focusing on his duties in the church, and performed minimally in public. He considered his music a hobby. His views on his music continued this way until 1978, when he brought a group of the teens from his church to the Ichthus Music Festival in Wilmore, Kentucky. He said that during this trip he witnessed the effect of music on young people, and decided to start pursuing music full-time.
Mullins formed his first band in 1976–77 while attending Cincinnati Bible College. His musical career formally began with Zion Ministries in the late 1970s, where he wrote music and performed with a band called Zion. The band released one album in 1981, Behold the Man. While working for this ministry, Mullins wrote a song called “Sing Your Praise to the Lord”, which was recorded by singer Amy Grant in 1982 and became an immediate hit on Christian radio. In 1983 Debby Boone recorded Mullins’ “O Come All Ye Faithful” (first presented on January 19, 1977 during a concert: “In Worship of the Coming King”), for her Surrender album. In 1984, the song was also featured in a TV movie called Sins of the Past.
