Meaning & Inspiration
This worship song celebrates the Trinity, describing one God in three persons. The verses begin with perfect communion "before there was time" and name God as the "all Sufficient One" and an "all Consuming Fire". The third verse summarizes salvation in trinitarian terms: the Father's plan to ransom His children, the blood of the Son, and the work of the Spirit who applies it.
The refrain calls listeners to "Worship the Father, the Spirit, the son" and admits that this doctrine is "a mystery". The bridge piles up adjectives, "unsearchable, indescribable, unexplainable, uncontainable", to say that "none can fathom the glory of our God". Those phrases resemble Romans 11:33, which marvels at the depth of God's wisdom and the unsearchable nature of His judgments.
The Son's baptism in Matthew 3:16-17 shows all three persons at once, and the closing command of Matthew 28:19 names them together. The song teaches that doctrine in singable form, moving from awe to response in worship.
