A boy’s name, Immanuel,
Was a wake-up call
Sent to a king.
Behind the knickknacks on a tree
It’s calling you and me
Loud as any Christmas bells can ever ring.
A boy’s name, Immanuel,
Someone waited for,
Someone who came.
It’s not a label we could suss:
The word says “God With Us”:
Christmas is the meaning of the name.
Christmas Time’s the book that holds the pictures of the past,
The pictures shared by friends, by man and wife,
By folks who understand what it had meant to life
When news got round that he’d come at last.
A boy’s name, Immanuel,
In a world to be
Never the same,
Was always written in the stars…
…The name that would be ours.
Christmas is the meaning of the name…of the name,
Christmas… the meaning of the name.
