stuck at God

I was trying to be studious and started reading a Bible commentary. Got stuck at 'God', at the first verse.

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

A general definition of this great First Cause, as far as human words dare attempt one, may be thus given: The eternal, independent, and self-existent Being: the Being whose purposes and actions spring from himself, without foreign motive or influence: he who is absolute in dominion; the most pure, the most simple, and most spiritual of all essences; infinitely benevolent, beneficent, true, and holy: the cause of all being, the upholder of all things; infinitely happy, because infinitely perfect; and eternally self-sufficient, needing nothing that he has made: illimitable in his immensity, inconceivable in his mode of existence, and indescribable in his essence; known fully only to himself, because an infinite mind can be fully apprehended only by itself. In a word, a Being who, from his infinite wisdom, cannot err or be deceived, and who, from his infinite goodness can do nothing but what is eternally just, right, and kind.

I had to read that passage 3 times over to fully understand what the guy was writing. But here he is trying to describe what God is when he says 'indescribable in his essence'. Sounds like a futile exercise. A created being can never fully understand the creator, simply because you got to be on a higher level to create something, and whatever you create can never be above your intelligence level. Yet we sing songs like 'make me more like you', 'all of me for all of you'. Dude, you don't even know what the other side is like.
To me, it doesn't matter if God is very much or just a tiny bit more clever than me, the point is, He's above. Hey, an inch is as good as a mile right? What matters to me is that when I'm in trouble, he solves it. When I pray for forgiveness, He's ever ready to help me out.
