Get ready to enter the heart of Christmas with Matt Redman’s beautiful Christmas song, ‘God The Son.’ This breathtaking song invites us to enter the real spirit of Christmas. It reminds us of the awe-inspiring miracle of God becoming one of us. 

The lyrics combine so many of our favorite hymns and Christmas songs you can’t help but praise God with gratitude and enjoy the winter nipping at your skin as you get from one place to the next knowing what a miracle it is to have Jesus. As the season unfolds, filled with lights, decorations, family Christmas cards, and festive gatherings, this song calls us to look deeper, past the sparkle and shine into the heart of what Christmas really is about. 

‘The song opens with words that boggle our minds:

Remaining what he was, became what he was not 

Flesh and blood 

Heart and breath and bones 

Just like one of us’

We’re reminded of the great mystery that surrounds the birth of Christ. Jesus, fully God and bones and flesh and blood, just like each of us. The repeated refrain of, “O come let us adore him/Christ the Lord” makes your heart leap for joy and helps us proclaim the holiness of His name.

Matt’s song beautifully highlights the Christmas season, reminding us of the miracle of Jesus that took place, and how humanity and the miraculous came together to save us in this lost and broken world. We see God’s glory and humility all at once. 

As you gather with friends and family, string lights, attend church, and bake holiday treats, ‘God the Son’ is a beautiful reminder to embrace the deeper meaning of Christmas. We’re invited to experience the wonder, peace, and joy. So, let this song lead you in a spirit of worship and adoration for the One who changed everything. 

John 1:14 "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
