My Savior’s Name

May the heavenly hosts all envy me

Because of the song I sing so free

Redeeming love I shall proclaim

Emmanuel is my savior’s name

God is with us every one

Who will receive the blessed son

His way His path and His time

Is all of His and none of mine

For if the promise you receive

You are transformed as you believe

Believing you are made to be

One who with His will you agree.

Changed transformed and reconciled

O be conformed to this Holy child

To see His image shine in you

Born in a heart made clean and new

The reason he came’s for the sake of His name

And to be our emmanuel

For god so loved the word that he gave his only son

Now our God is for us

So we’ll join the chorus

To sing of the great things He’s done.

For though he was equal with God

Equality he did not grasp

He put off his glory

To tell us this story

That fulfills more than we know to ask.

For when he put on human flesh

And came to earth to dwell

He has made us a way

On that first christmas day

So we’ll go – all the world to tell
