This song is about God being both with and above, He is all knowing, all powerful, outside of time, and yet, He became a man, we can know him, He is our Father. It's important to understand God both ways, I hope understanding this will drive people to praise God all the more as they sing, that they are not just worshipping any God, but this God, the God of the bible.
A detailed explanation of this song including biblical references can be found on our website as well as chord charts.

lyrics
Seek the Father, seek the Son
Seek His Holy, will be done
Through His Spirit’s, helping power
In our hearts, a new desire
To see Him praised, to see Him known
To see His glory, on the throne
To know His love, to know His peace
By every word, His Spirit breathed
God so lofty, so high above
Maker of the universe, yet our Father draws so near
God is with us, our God is with us
From His presence, darkness runs
Yet in His presence, I am beloved
Not by my merit, not for my praise
But for His glory, my joy all days
By His name, we are saved
christ was raised, from death to life
In our place was sacrificed
God eternal, three in one
Perfect love is, shared with us
We will sing our song of praise
And live with Him for all our days
