Michael W. Smith's 'Son of God' is a worship song that celebrates the incarnation of Jesus Christ. The lyrics describe the awe of witnessing God's plan unfold as the Son of God, described as pure light and love divine, steps into the world to die for humanity. The song emphasizes the wonder of the King of Kings being present with us, prompting angels and people to bow and sing. The repeated refrains of 'Gloria' and 'Hallelujah' express praise and adoration, while the closing lines affirm Emmanuel, meaning 'God is with us.' It is a reverent and joyful declaration of Christ's birth and His presence among us.

Son of God, purest light, Lord on high is here tonight
Stamping through, this sacred sky suddenly our eyes behold
Heaven's perfect plan unfold, son of God
Son of God, love divine, timeless one, steps in to die
Who could dream of such a thing with us now the King of Kings
Man and angels bow and sing, singing Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We're singing Gloria, Hallelujah
We're singing Gloria, Hallelujah
We're singing Gloria, Hallelujah
We're singing Gloria
We're singing Gloria, Hallelujah
We're singing Gloria, Hallelujah
We're singing Gloria, Hallelujah
(We're singing Gloria)
We're singing Gloria, Hallelujah
(Emmanuel)
We're singing Gloria, Hallelujah
(Emmanuel)
We're singing Gloria, Hallelujah
Our God is with us
Emmanuel, our God is with us
(We're singing Hallelujah)
Singing Gloria
