“You work everything for good” might exceed Paul’s meaning, especially out of Paul’s context: does this overplay sovereignty to the point of Determinism?; did the anguish that led to suicide pan out as good?. My main problem is the repeated boast in our constancy – “I will, I will, I will”, and I prefer the humbler subjunctive “I would, I would” - earnest desire whether we achieve the goal or not: I trust God’s will more than my will: or Tomlin could have used the able (“I can, I can”). The song is what I call either a td0 (to God in general) or td1 (to God the father) song, neither breaking from prayer to sing to others (so not pd – polydirectional) or switching to Jesus (Td2) or the spirit (Td3). Therefore, I admire its consistency of direction of vision. In short, the song seeks to canvass God as greatness, and contextualises us within his care. Great, boasting in God is as it should be, but without boasting in me please, Chris.

My analysis in on http://lyricology.eu/bbtk.html. A pleasant tune and, except for stanza 2, good rhyme. It has some good things to think about, especially the dose of realism that the high king is worthy of greater gifts than we can bring. The downsides include misunderstanding prayer, boasting, buddy theology, and a false rationale against suicide. Changing it to a song to Jesus (theodirectional 2), with further tweaks, would much improve as a devotional song, amazement at what God has done for his rebellious creatures, allowing us into eternal relationship.

Basically, other than the "holy god" bit (http://mdtc.eu/wgggodtype.html), an exceptional worship song about Yahweh, the transcendent one, and our relative awe, what Rudolf Otto called the numinous. "Beyond comprehension" should perhaps be "beyond full comprehension", as finite we comprehend "in part" the infinite. Beauty himself is beyond mere comparison of beauty - the song helps articulate our in-articulation.
