Three
Words and music: Gregory Stephen Popp
One Father the Maker
One Glorious Savior
One Spirit to Guide us
Three living in one God
No mortal mind can comprehend
No beginning and no end
Eternal minds who live as one
Whose love shines brighter than the sun
The Father generates the Son
Eternally begotten one
From them the Spirit does proceed
To fire all hearts, to guide and lead
One Father Creator
One Beautiful Savior
One Spirit inside us
Three living in one God |
Greg's Story
I read a book (and took a study class) called "Fundamentals of the Faith". The book was written by Peter Kreeft. In it, he discusses the great mystery of the Holy Trinity. I thought I understood everything about the Trinity - I guess I always just figured most of it is a mystery so what's to understand? In his book, Kreeft goes into much detail about the nature of God and this relationship that is the Trinity. This song tries to convey just a bit about what I learned in that book. I encourage you to learn more too. Read the book if you can.
The Holy Trinity is so much a part of our lives. Our human families are an image of the trinity. A beautiful reminder sewn into the fabric of creation. |
