Jesus Is With Us

by Chris Juby

Lyrics

Mary rides to the busy town of Bethlehem
Bears her child, then she lays him in a manger bed
God is born among us

Woah! Jesus is with us
Woah! Filling the world with hope
Jesus is with us now

Shepherds wait in the quiet of a starry night
Heaven speaks and the glory of the Lord shines bright
Angels sing his praises

Wise men come from a far off land to honour him
Lay their gifts as they bow before the King of Kings
He will reign forever

Story

I needed an all-age song for the Kings 2017 Carol Service and couldn't find quite the right thing, so I wrote this. It tells the Nativity story in three vignettes from the Gospels, with a chorus celebrating that Jesus is still with us today.

The stop motion video features characters made by the kids from my small group at church.

I tweaked the song a bit in 2018 ahead of the full Resound release.
