Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere in Bethlehem
A baby graced the silence sweetly he's crying
I am Emmanuel
Then angels gave him music, shepherds gave reverence
And a message to the land
A widow held him cherish the God
But oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace
What tribute shall I bring to worship Thee
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
So Lamb of God I offer me
Can You see the wise men? A star did guide them
Searching all the earth
Till they found the one child the very godchild
Who ruled the universe
Did they know the lady's little baby
Was God in fully man
And everything they gave him he himself
Had made with his hands
But oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace
What tribute shall I bring to worship Thee
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
So Lamb of God I offer me
I bring You all my hopes
I bring You all my dreams
I give You all my soul
My min and all my strength
I wrap them all inside
My heart to give to the
And I come
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him, Christ
Oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace
What tribute shall I offer Thee
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
So Lamb of God may I offer
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
So Lamb of God, please let me offer me
Lamb of God I offer me
The song "Lamb of God" by Darla Day is a Christmas carol that tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. The first verse describes how Jesus was born in Bethlehem after a long night of labor pains and tears. Despite the pain and exhaustion, the birth of Jesus brings a new sense of hope and joy to the world. The singer then refers to the angels who sang praises to God and the shepherds who offered reverence to the new born child. The song emphasizes the truth that Jesus is the Emmanuel, which means "God with us" in Hebrew.
The second verse describes how the wise men followed a star to find the baby Jesus. The singer asks if they knew that the little baby they were looking for was actually God in human form. The wise men brought several gifts to the baby including gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The singer reflects on the thought that everything that Jesus had received was created by Him. The chorus of the song explains that the singer has no physical gifts to offer to Jesus but instead offers their heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Once upon a long night after a hard cry
In the past, on a sad, lonely night, after much weeping
Somewhere in Bethlehem
In a certain place called Bethlehem
A baby graced the silence sweetly he's crying
A baby appeared, filling the quietness with sweet cries
I am Emmanuel
I am called Emmanuel
Then angels gave him music, shepherds gave reverence
At that time, angels sang music to him and the shepherds showed great respect
And a message to the land
And sent a message throughout the land

A widow held him and loved God
