Son of God, Servant King, Here with us
In thinking about Advent and Christmas, and listening to some beautiful Christmas music, I’ve come to believe in the importance of telling the entire story of redemption at Christmastime. Bethany got me thinking about this after reading her letter that came with her Christmas mix CD, on which she put several songs that talked about more than just the nativity story, but covered the whole salvation story from Christ’s birth to His resurrection and defeat of death. And songs that communicate the mystery of understanding the eternal-ness of God, while still being awestruck by the humility of His beginning here on earth. Wow.
So here’s a song from that mix, and while it’s hard to appreciate the entire beauty of it without hearing it, the words alone are pretty poignant. I’m thinking I’ll make this a series for this last week before Christmas, posting a new, favorite song every day (haha, we’ll see).
It’s still a mystery to me
That the hands of God could be so small,
How tiny fingers reaching in the night
Were the very hands that measured the skyHallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King,
You’re here with us
You’re here with usIt’s still a mystery to me, oh,
How His infant eyes have seen the dawn of time
How His ears have heard an angel’s symphony,
But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleepHallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
Here with us
You’re here with usJesus the Christ, born in Bethlehem
A baby born to save, to save the souls of manHallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
You’re here with us
You’re here with us~Here with Us, Joy Williams
“Here with Us” by Joy William is one of the best Christmas songs ever. I kept hearing it on the radio but didn’t know the name. While searching for it by lyrics I could remember, i came upon your site where I found the name. Now i can buy “Every Moment: The Best of Joy Williams” CD which has the song. THANKS!

This song is a powerful Christmas song. I heard it on KLTY 94.9 in Dallas for the first time and it touched my heart. It’s important these days that Christians remember why we celebrate Christmas and this song does exactly that.
