BEHIND THE SONG
This is an Advent/Christmas song inspired by the many different names Jesus is referred to in the Bible: “Light of the world, hope of glory, man of sorrow, healer of nations, mighty God, wonderful counselor, prince of peace.” And of course, Jesus’ name itself, Emmanuel, which means “God With Us.” What’s ironic about all this, of course, is that when Jesus was born, he was just another poor kid born in a back alley, whose name meant nothing to pretty much anybody but his parents. He was one of the “lowly” that Luke called out in his gospel as had so many of the prophets who came before him saying God has “…lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things.

Verse 1
You were just a little child
Born into a world of pain
You were just a little boy
With no fortune or fame
You were just a little one
And no one knew your name
Your name is Jesus
And you changed everything
Chorus
Jesus, Jesus
God with us
Jesus, Jesus
We sing Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
Gloria, Gloria
God with us.
Verse 2
You came to give us life
Life abundantly
You came to make us whole
And all that we could be
You came to hold us close
And to set us free
Your name is Jesus
And you changed everything
Chorus
Chant
