I will bow before
My Lord and King
Hallelujah
You have come to us
You make all things new
Emmanuel
You'll never let me go
My Shepherd King
You'll never let me go
My Sheperd King
You're watching over me
Emmanuel
So amazing
You have named the stars
Of the deepest night
Still You love me
You have called my name
I will follow You
Holy Holy
God Almighty
There is none like You

The lyrics to Hillsong (Holiday)'s song "Emmanuel" highlight the omnipotence and grace of God, specifically through the embodiment of His Son, Jesus Christ. The opening lines of the song, "Holy Holy, I will bow before my Lord and King" invite the listener to engage in worship and veneration to a divine being who is far greater than any mortal being. This sentiment is further reinforced with the repetition of "Holy Holy" throughout the song, serving as a constant reminder of God's infinite power and might.
The song then shifts to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the embodiment of God's love and mercy. The lyrics "Emmanuel, Jesus Christ, You'll never let me go, My Shepherd King" speaks to the constant presence of Jesus in our lives- guiding and protecting us through His unwavering love. The reference to Jesus as a "Shepherd King" is also significant- in biblical terms, a shepherd is someone who tends to their flock and leads them to safety, highlighting the importance of Jesus as a constant and benevolent leader in the lives of His followers. The final lines of the song, "Holy Holy, God Almighty, there is none like You," serves as a final reminder of God's power, and the gift of Christ's love and protection.

I was watching TBN one evening some years ago, and Darlene and her praise team were featured. I have never felt the anointing come through my tv screen like I did that evening. This woman loves the Lord Jesus Christ and His power was flowing through her because of her surrender to the King of kings and Lord of lords. Christ alone is to be exalted because He will share His glory with no one. Faith in Christ and Christ crucified is the ONLY way people. Please know this. Paul the apostle preached this and it is so. I am a nobody whom Christ appeared to some 20 years ago and proved that the staunchest of agnostics could convert to the love of God through His Son Jesus Christ. I am forever indebted!
@fabchick8159

My mom is a fan of Hillsong worship. She said she used to be waking up by that song back when Hillsong worship came in Rwanda 🇷🇼
