In the case of Godhood, the state or quality is that of being GOD. Now, what do we think of when speakling of His GODHOOD? We think of everything to do with being DIVINE and DEITY, but not what has to do with humanity.

The root word in Fatherhood is Father. Fatherhood means the qualities or state of BEING a father. But if I said "My father" I don't refer to a state or a title or an abstract concept. I refer to a specific person. So when I say GOD I really am saying something different from GodHOOD

God is a word and words have meanings and meanings often depend on context. There is therefore no one cookie cutter meaning or implication. It depends on the context of how it is being used. In that song obviously they mean God who became flesh and not His Divine nature. Even Arph did not get that. We need to educate OPs on these things otherwise it's just going to remain confusing for us and Trinitarians.
