[Verse]
Hallelujah to the Father,
Source of love and life above.
Hallelujah to the Son, Jesus Christ,
The first born of the new creation in whom we all live, move and have our beings
Hallelujah, Holy Spirit,
Giver and breath of life, the guiding Light within.
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Three in One, we lift You high.
Hallelujah, now forever,
Endless praise will fill the sky.
The song is short and structural. It names the three persons of the Trinity in turn and gives each a proper work: the Father as source of love and life, the Son as firstborn of the new creation, the Spirit as breath and guiding light.
"The firstborn of the new creation in whom we all live, move and have our being" joins two texts. Colossians 1:15 names Christ the firstborn, and Acts 17:28 says in God we live and move and have our being. The song reads them together: the life we live is life held within Christ.
Calling the Spirit "giver and breath of life" recovers an old title. The Nicene Creed calls the Spirit the Lord and giver of life. Breath and Spirit are the same word in Hebrew and Greek, ruach and pneuma.
The chorus holds the two truths the Church confesses at once: "Three in One." Three persons, one God, without collapse or division. This song is the album's doxology. Before the record explores what reconciliation does in a person, it says who God is. Praise is addressed to the Trinity, not to a benefit.
