The lyrics of Michael W. Smith's "Emmanuel" captures the essence of the Christmas story, announcing the birth of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The song begins with an invitation to sing out and proclaim the joyous news of Christmas. The lyrics mention the angels who appeared to the shepherds, calling them to come and see the newborn King in Bethlehem. The shepherds find the holy family, and we too celebrate their arrival.
The chorus repeatedly praises Jesus, addressing him as Emmanuel, which means "God with us." The name represents the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy that foretold the coming of the Messiah, who would bridge the gap between God and humanity. The rest of the chorus describes Jesus as the Wonderful Counselor, Lord of Life, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, and Holy One. These titles encapsulate the power and majesty of Jesus, the Son of God, who entered the world in human form to bring salvation and redemption to all.
