This week’s featured song story comes to us from Chris Tomlin. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Emmanuel God With Us.”
“The song just started with ‘Go Tell It On The Mountain’ just sung in a different way. That then led us into this whole idea of this song of what Christmas really is. Obviously it’s the announcement of Jesus but also the announcement to the world, to continue sharing that what Jesus came to do.“ – Chris Tomlin

“Emmanuel God With Us” Lyrics
Verse 1
Go tell it on the mountain
The one that we’ve been waiting for
The King of our salvation
Born on this day: our Savior Christ the Lord
Verse 2
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
That we can be forgiven
The weight of all our sin He came to bear
Chorus
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel, King Jesus
The Savior of the world is born
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel, King Jesus
The Savior of the world is born
Verse 3
Go tell it on the mountain
Humbly in a manger lay
Mercy sent from heaven
Angels fill the sky with highest praise
Verse 4
Go tell it on the mountain
This baby born of virgin birth
The Ruler of all nations
The glory of our God has come to earth
Tag
The Savior of the world is born
The Savior of the world is born
