Bible Verse related to the Lyrics:

Revelation 4:8 – “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”
Revelation 1:8 – “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Revelation 11:17 – “…Lord God Almighty, who is and who was…”

Core theology/ meaning of the lyrics:

• Eternal nature of God: “Who was and is and is to come” directly from Revelation 1:8, 4:8; emphasizes God’s timeless existence (past, present, future).
• Sovereign omnipotence: “Lord God Almighty” (Greek: Pantokrator); God rules all creation eternally.
• Eternal reign: “Who reigns forever more” reflects God’s unchanging kingship.
• Kingdom theology: “May your kingdom be established in our praises” echoes Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:10) and idea that worship advances God’s rule.
• Adoration and declaration: Lifting God’s name, declaring mighty works; worship as response to His love and power.

Trinitarian-leaning praise (Father focus, Revelation imagery of Christ/God) centered on God’s eternal sovereignty, worthiness of praise, and kingdom come through worship. Pure doxology rooted in Revelation.
