Jesus Culture's song 'Born of God' featuring Chris Quilala reflects on the incarnation and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The lyrics describe how Jesus, though divine, took on human flesh and willingly died on the cross to rescue humanity. The song emphasizes the profound love and sacrifice of Jesus, who bore the weight of sin that no one else could carry, offering peace and freedom. It also includes a refrain declaring 'Emmanuel, God with us,' highlighting the belief that God came to dwell among people. The song is a worshipful meditation on the Christmas and Easter themes of God's presence and redemptive work.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Covered in flesh and blood
You came to us
Nothing of consequence to see
Inside of time and space
You laid your life
Down on a cross to rescue me
Jesus born of God
In the flesh
I will not forget
You live and You died
What a love
What a sacrifice
Silent, You offered up Your body there
Numbered with murderers and thieves
Bearing the weight of what I never could
You stood in my place and set me free
O-oh the sacrifice
And O-oh the peace
You stood in my place and set me free
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Emmanuel God with us
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Emmanuel God with us
