‘Unto Us’ (lyrics taken from Is 9:6-7) is probably my favourite new Christmas song of this year. Taken from Aaron Shust’s Christmas album of the same name, the song captures the wonderfully lyrical piano music I love and has a truly epic feel to it whilst being eminently singable!
‘Unto us a child is born and unto us a son is given,
God with us, go and tell: Immanuel has come from heaven
And His name will ever be the Prince of peace, the wonderful Counsellor.
He’s the great and mighty Lord.
Bow before our holy Saviour.
Unto us a child is born, hope to all the world.
Unto us the Son of God has come:
Sing hallelujah.
Everlasting Father, Name above all names,
God is with us.
Sing hallelujah.
He’s the Prince of peace.
He’s the Mighty God.
He’s the Saviour born to set the captive free.
He’s the Promised One,
The Messiah come
And His love will reign throughout eternity.’ (‘Unto Us’, Aaron Shust)
If you have time to listen to this webinar, it’s well worth it, giving the background to all the songs on the album and giving a glimpse into the stories behind the songs. And if you’re still looking for Christmas presents, this one comes highly recommended!
