There are two artists known as Rich Mullins
One is the former bassist of Karma to Burn and Speedealer, who now plays in Year Long Disaster.

The other was born Richard Wayne Mullins on October 21, 1955 and was an American singer/songwriter who lived in Richmond, Indiana till his untimely death in an automobile accident on September 19, 1997. He was a prodigiously talented Christian musician and composer, playing, primarily, the piano but also the hammered dulcimer, the lap dulcimer and the Irish tin whistle.

His biggest hits were the praise choruses

Awesome God and

Step by Step. Three of his albums are considered among Christian music’s best: Winds Of Heaven, Stuff Of Earth (1988), The World As Best As I Remember It, Volume 1 (1991) and A Liturgy, a Legacy & a Ragamuffin Band (1993). The posthumous The Jesus Record include one disc of demos he had recorded shortly before his death, and a second disc of recordings of the songs completed by The Ragamuffin Band, several with guest vocalists.

Mullins often called St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) his hero. He modeled his life after St. Francis by showing great compassion towards the poor and adhering to a vow of poverty. In 1997, he composed a musical about the life of St. Francis set in the Old West titled Canticle of the Plains.

Mullins was seen as an enigma to the Christian music industry. Often barefoot, unshaven, and badly in need of a haircut, Mullins did not look like the average American Gospel music writer. He was very much at home among the non-Christians, and unafraid to name his own sin and inadequacies in public.

An amazing man and follower of Christ. I agree with andrgsilva, below, that If I Stand is one of the best gospel songs ever.

The sad thing is, Awesome God isn't even one of his best songs. Very good, yes, but there's at least half a dozen I would put in front of it, maybe ten or more.
