12 Songs of Christmas - Song 10

Song 10 - Holy Emmanuel by Terry Scott Taylor.

A pleasant sound enveloped me as I entered church tonight. It was our carol service and I was helping get things ready for it and was a little flustered - this song met me as i entered the sanctuary.

I was going to post another song but decided upon this one. Terry Taylor is the lead singer/song writer of Daniel Amos and if you have known me for any length of time then you know they are my favourite band and the music of Terry's is my number one. During dark times in my life when I've been about to give up on my faith (and life) it has been his music which has kept me going on. He's not the best singer, but what he does do impresses me. This is a quieter song and i think his rock voice is better but I do like the honesty of his voice here. His lyrics I do put up amongst the best out there though.



Wisemen still looking for Him
Children still come and adore Him
We will bow down before Him
The Savior is born in Bethlehem

We sing Holy, Holy, Holy
Noel, Noel
Singing Holy, Holy
God Emmanuel

Prophets foretold the story
Angels proclaim His glory
Brightest Star of Morning
The Savior is born in Bethlehem


The lyrics speak for themselves here - as long as you remember what Emmanuel means - God with Us.
