'Emmanuel, God With Us' Amy Grant With Anthem Lights - Staff Picks

Anthem Lights just released their seasonal album “Christmas Hymns”. One of the songs from the album is a Christmas favorite “Emmanuel, God with Us” featuring Christian artist, Amy Grant.

“Emmanuel, God with Us” was written by Amy Grant and made popular on her 1992 Home for Christmas album. This song quickly became a seasonal favorite as a “new” Christmas hymn. Beautifully written, the lyrics paint a moving scene of Christmas traditions with the centerpiece being the Christ-child.

“Painted wooden toys
Treasures found
To the wondrous sound
Of carolling the Savior
Born to us on Christmas morn

Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel
Emmanuel, God with us
The son of Israel”

We are loving this collaboration between Amy Grant and Anthem Lights! The artists have a wonderful blending in their voices together. It wasn’t long before we were worshipping along with them!

“A voice of peace
To the weary ones
Who struggle with the human soul
All of us, Travellers
Through a given time
Who can know
What tomorrow holds?”

What an incredible reminder that indeed God IS with us, all the time, in every moment! What a precious gift from Creator God to send to us His only Son in such a humble way. As we rejoice this Christmas season, may we remember the birth of Christ our Savior and may our heart’s song be “Emmanuel, God with Us.”

Anthem Lights’ Christmas Hymns album serves up nine Christmas favorites:
Joy to the World, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
Angels We Have Heard on High, Away in a Manger, We Three Kings
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Emmanuel, God With Us (feat. Amy Grant), Go Tell It on the Mountain, Ave Maria, Christmas Hymns Medley, Mary, Did You Know?
