The song "Oh Ven, Oh Ven Emmanuel" by Jaci Velasquez is a Spanish rendition of the popular Christmas hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." The lyrics convey a plea for Emmanuel, which means "God with us," to come and rescue Israel from evil and darkness. The song begins by calling out to Emmanuel, asking him to come and rescue Israel from the grips of evil. The reference to Israel represents the people who are living in a state of sadness and emptiness since the day Emmanuel (or the presence of God) departed. The chorus of the song emphasizes the hope and anticipation of Israel for the arrival of Emmanuel. It conveys a message of comfort and reassurance that Emmanuel's voice is heard and that he is waiting for Israel, symbolizing humanity, to return to Him. Overall, the song speaks of the longing for the presence of God and the redemption He brings. It is a reminder of the promise of salvation and the hope that comes with the coming of Emmanuel.
