Immanuel
Lyrics/Music by Isaac Chang Yew Beng © 2019
The star shining bright in the dark night
It's a promise of God, sent from above
He is our Hope and Savior for us
He is Jesus, our Immanuel has come
Oh Oh Gloria x2
Jesus, Light of the world has shone
The darkness in us began to fade
He is our Hope and Savior for us
He is Jesus, our Immanuel has come
Immanuel, God with us
Jesus, God's only Son
And He came to save the lost, Immanuel
Glory, glory, glory in the highest
Our Father
Who has sent us
Jesus, His only Son
Our Righteous One
Who brought us peace
Jesus, God is well pleased
Oh Oh Gloria
Glory, glory, glory in the highest
Story: In one of the last October chapel worship services, I was humming some melodies freely while singing "Gloria in Excelsis Deo." Supposedly, I had two compositions to complete before the year-end, but this musical inspiration came with scriptural references of the angels singing glory to God in Luke. After studying the scriptures, I put together a simple piece for Immanuel, God with us. Immanuel is God's promise to us that He will never leave us. God the Father sent His only Son Jesus for us to be with Him and also later sent us His Spirit. In this Christmas season, let's remember that because of Jesus, God's Righteous One, He has redeemed us to be with God the Father forever. Immanuel!
