Our Great God

Over the latter half of 2010, we have been looking at the Trinity as a preaching series at church - and an awesome series it's been. I had discussed with our pastor about writing a song on the Trinity and how precious few songs there are about it. Graciously, God gave me this song - and thankfully, it was finished right at the start of the series!

Each verse deals with the members of the Godhead, while the idea behind the chorus echoes a few classic hymns that mention the Trinity. The pre-chorus/bridge carries an interesting idea of God being perfect in mercy, power and unity. In every sense of the word, our God - three persons in One - is perfect. His mercy and love, are perfect. And yet they are perfectly balanced with His sense of power, justice and holiness. And the unity and harmony between each member of the Godhead is flawless.

VERSE 1
Glorious Father
Lord of creation
God eternal and unseen, You are

VERSE 2
Wonderful Jesus
God of salvation
Crucified, now risen, coming King

PRECHORUS
Perfect in mercy
Perfect in power
Perfect in unity
How marvelous are You, oh Lord

CHORUS
All glory to the Father
All glory to the Son
All glory to the Spirit
We bring praise to our great God
Three in One

VERSE 3
Oh Holy Spirit
Comfort and counsel
Guarantee of hope, our future sealed

I pray these lyrics are a blessing to you, as they have been to me. I'm pleased to announce there is now a recording online at www.myspace.com/andrewmihaleff. For those wanting sheet music, please don't hesitate to ask.

"Perfect in mercy, perfect in power, perfect in unity... how marvelous are You, O Lord" - amen.
