7 Worship Songs Declaring The Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit)

The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the profound mysteries of the Christian faith. We worship one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While it can be hard to explain, it is beautiful to sing.

Songs that explicitly name the Trinity help to anchor our theology. They remind the church that we don’t just worship a generic “higher power”; we worship the Father who loves us, the Son who saved us, and the Spirit who empowers us. These anthems are essential for teaching sound doctrine through melody.

Why These Songs Matter

We selected these songs because:

• They are explicit. They don’t just hint at the Trinity; they name the Father, Son, and Spirit clearly.
• They are creedal. Many of these songs function like modern-day creeds, helping the church memorize what they believe.
• They unify the Godhead. They show how the three persons work together in perfect harmony for our redemption.

7 Songs To Worship The Triune God

1. King Of Kings – The chorus of this song is a pure Trinitarian doxology: “Praise the Father, Praise the Son, Praise the Spirit, three in one.” It is one of the most powerful declarations of the Trinity in modern worship music.
2. How Great Is Our God – This classic anthem contains the famous line, “The Godhead three in one, Father, Spirit, Son.” It was many worshipers’ first introduction to singing about the theology of the Trinity in a contemporary setting.
3. I Believe (by Phil Wickham) – Based on the Apostles’ Creed and Nicene Creed, this song systematically affirms belief in “God our Father,” “Christ the Son,” and the “Holy Spirit.” It is a dogmatic, joyful declaration of faith.
4. Holy Forever – “To the Lamb who sits upon the throne.” While focused on the holiness of God, this song unites the worship of the eternal Godhead with the specific worship of Jesus, the Lamb.
5. Revelation Song – The repetition of “Holy, Holy, Holy” is a biblical reference to the Triune nature of God found in Isaiah 6 and Revelation 4. It is a song of pure, vertical adoration.
6. The Blessing – This song structures its blessing around the presence of God. It asks for His face to shine on you (Father) and His presence to be with you (Spirit), encompassing the fullness of God’s care.
7. This Is Our God – “Father, let Your kingdom come.” This song identifies the acts of God—saving, redeeming, present—and attributes them to the One we worship, reinforcing His identity.

Example Trinitarian Setlists

Setlist 1 (The Creed)

1. This Is Our God – Establishes who we are gathering to worship.
2. I Believe (by Phil Wickham) – Unites the room in a shared confession of the Trinity.
3. King Of Kings – Ends with a high-energy doxology praising all three persons.

Setlist 2 (Holy, Holy, Holy)

1. How Great Is Our God – Opens with a gentle reminder of the “Godhead three in one.”
2. Revelation Song – Moves into deep, throne-room worship.
3. Holy Forever – Seals the set with an eternal perspective.

How To Use These Songs In Your Church

• Teach the lyrics. When singing How Great Is Our God, pause to highlight the line “Godhead three in one.” Explain that we are singing to one God who is Father, Son, and Spirit.
• Use for Trinity Sunday. These songs are mandatory for Trinity Sunday (the first Sunday after Pentecost), but they should be sung year-round to keep our view of God complete.
• Pair with baptism. Since we baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, songs like I Believe are perfect for baptism services.
