Hillsong - We Have A Savior Lyrics

“We Have a Savior” presents the birth of Jesus as good news meant to be sung and shared. The opening pictures the promised child as King and the source of freedom, then calls worshipers to adore him and bring gifts. References to light, angels, joy, and Emmanuel gather familiar parts of the Christmas story around one central declaration: the Savior has come near.

The chorus emphasizes rescue and belonging. Humanity is described as no longer lost because Christ has come down, while the name Emmanuel identifies him as God with his people. The invitation to tell all the world broadens the song from celebration to proclamation. Isaiah 9 speaks of a child given whose reign brings light, and Matthew 1 explains Emmanuel as “God with us.” Luke 2 records the angelic announcement of a Savior and the praise that follows. These biblical echoes support the song’s worshipful response to Christ’s coming, ending with confidence that his love and reign will endure forever.
