Trinitas Una (The Trinity One)

V5

[Intro – low drone, three-part monk harmony] Pater, Filius, Spiritus Sanctus Unus Deus [Verse 1 – heavy double bass, crashing guitar, voice like thunder wrapped in reverence] Three Persons, never divided Yet one Essence, never three The Father speaks, the Son obeys The Spirit moves eternally No beginning, no succession No rank, no lesser crown The Son is not beneath the Father The Father never stands alone [Pre-chorus – choir swells, steady] Non tres dii, sed unus Deus Non tres substantiae, sed una substantia (“Not three gods, but one God” – Athanasian Creed) [Chorus – full, majestic roar] TRINITAS UNA Distinct yet one, forever one TRINITAS UNA The Son is God, the Father’s Son No creature, no created thing The Word was God, the Word became flesh (John 1:1, 14) Trinitas una Holy, holy, holy Lord [Verse 2 – rain on stone, voice lifts] The Father sends, the Son is sent Yet both are equal in the throne The Spirit proceeds from both as one Yet none is ever left alone When Thomas fell before the risen Christ He cried “My Lord and my God” Not “a god” or “one among gods” But God Himself, the only God [Chorus – heavier, drums like heartbeat of eternity] TRINITAS UNA Distinct yet one, forever one TRINITAS UNA The Son is God, the Father’s Son No other name, no other way Christ is God, and God is He (John 20:28 / Isaiah 9:6) Trinitas una Holy, holy, holy Lord [Bridge – silence, then single voice] The Father loves the Son The Son glorifies the Father The Spirit testifies to both One God in three Persons forever (John 17:5 / John 15:26) [Final Chorus – soaring, cathedral ablaze] TRINITAS UNA Let every knee bow to the Three-in-One TRINITAS UNA Let every tongue confess the only Son Who is the image of the invisible God The firstborn of creation, yet the Creator (Colossians 1:15–16) Trinitas una Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Amen. [Outro – choir alone, fading into eternity] Gloria Patri, et Filio Et Spiritui Sancto Sicut erat in principio Et nunc et semper Et in saecula saeculorum Amen.
