Song Story:  THE  MUSIC
        I  was experimenting again.  I wrote the melody for Guitar Plucking, to match the 5-month-old lyrics, and designed chords.  Then I played chords on a VIOLIN track, playing "organ style" with no pedals so that the only sustain came from how long I pressed the controller keys.
       When finished, I duplicated the track twice.  In Track 1,  I deleted all except the top-most notes.  In Track 3,  I deleted all except the bottom layer of notes, and then slid them down an octave and renamed the track "Cello."  And of course, Track 2 was all remaining notes.

       From there I just started adding orchestra instrument tracks and playing "anything"  that was basically -- but not always -- in the main chords.  Finally came the thunderstorm and erupting volcano that I carefully placed and built up in sound to develop the crescendo effect.  By "anything," I mean that it was not from my human musical intelligence;  I truly believe that Creative Holy Spirit guided me.  Because I'm not being at all proud-filled as I declare with tiny words, "This song is wow." 

Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:
       I absolutely could not remember how I'd come up with the concept for this song, so I looked up the  earliest lyrics sketch in my old journal.  Here's what I had written: 
    “Entire song inspired by 2 sentences in A.W. Tozer's  THE PURSUIT OF GOD, page 37:      '...holiness so ineffable that no comparisons or figures will avail to     express it.  Only fire can give even a remote conception of it.  In fire He     appeared at the burning bush;  in the pillar of fire He dwelt through all the long wilderness journey....."
         And my entry included a single word idea to link into the song:  "Pentecost...... “

      I like playing with big vocabulary words just for fun (see "Hebetudinicity").  And "INEFFABLE”  just rolls off the tongue easily!   BUT....... This is CRUCIAL:   When I sat at the computer to create these final lyrics, I just quickly typed, making up new lyrics lines to fit the music “in my head”  as I went.   And I literally and in tearful awe cried out a prayer, “Oh, GOD!”  when I looked back at these words that just flowed out.
Dedicated to Holy God,  29 January 2011 (lyrics), and 15 June  2011 (music).

LYRICS
SPOKEN
          "INEFFABLE:  Too great to be described in Words
            or even uttered... like God's name,    YHWH"    
1
Something that is ineffable cannot be described in human words at all.
INEFFABLE  describes our God:  An Exodus 13 pillar of Great Fire.... for
    God Himself came down to Earth to  show His Holy Fire.
    God Himself came down to Earth to  show His INEFFABLE LOVE.
        God came to us like a FIRE.   And Jesus came as God's LIGHT.
SPOKEN
          "Acts 2: 1-4a.    When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord  in one place.     And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.   And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit....

2
God showed Himself to Moses as a burning bush that never was put out.
God showed Himself to Moses as a pillar of FIRE that led people by night.... for
        God Himself came down to Earth to  show His Holy Fire.
        God Himself came down to Earth to  show His INEFFABLE LOVE.
              God came to us like a FIRE.   And Jesus came as God's LIGHT.
SPOKEN
          Romans 8: 9- 11.  "But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin,
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

3
 God showed Himself in Acts 2: 3 as TONGUES OF FIRE, Holy Spirit Power:
A Gift to us --- Wisdom, and Power, and God's Holy Spirit living with us,  to show
         God Himself came down to Earth to  show His Holy Fire.
         God Himself came down to Earth to  show His INEFFABLE LOVE.
God came to us like a FIRE.   And Jesus came as God's LIGHT.
 
=======================================================
 
SPOKEN
          Hebrews 12: 28 - 29.   But if the Spirit of Him GOD who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.   Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.   FOR OUR GOD IS A  CONSUMING FIRE.

REFERENCES:

These words were not in my original.  But they've been in God's original Plan for you and me all along.... when you're “down,”  go read of God's Love via  First John.
Over and over and over and over, God says He calls to ALL, that He wants ALL to be saved from hell and to come to live with Him eternally in Heaven.  2 Peter 3: 9   and  First Timothy 2:4.
