about

In this song I wanted to think about the incarnation using two of the titles given to the Son of God: Jesus, which means 'saviour', and Immanuel, which means 'God with us'. As I wrote it, it moved from being a broad ranging exploration of the implications of the incarnation to a more focused song on Jesus' birth. I was determined not to end up with a Christmas song, but in the end the song defeated me! But I hope that the strong praise and worship elements of the chorus give it a 'now' feeling so it's not just another Christmas-story song. The closing section was originally a prechorus, but we moved it to the end when recording, and it proved to be a surprisingly powerful meditation on the meaning of Immanuel.

lyrics

We worship a wonderful saviour;
he's the author of life, who was there at the first.
The creator who entered creation
is the miracle child of a virgin birth.

Praise Immanuel,
praise the saviour,
worship God on high.
He has come to us.
Praise Immanuel,
praise the saviour,
worship Jesus Christ.
He is one with us.

We worship a wonderful saviour;
in the form of this child is the fullness of God.
His infinity hides in his weakness,
his divinity beats in his human heart.

We worship a wonderful saviour;
he was born as a man, yet was fully divine.
He is God, come to dwell with his people,
he's the Word become flesh, he is Jesus Christ.

He is God with us, he is one with us.
