Emmanuel (God with us)

Emmanuel - God With Us

Verse 1

Darkness filled the earth, waiting for the light

Heaven sent a Child, born in cold dark night

Angels sing His name, God has come to stay

Not a distant God, He has come this way

Pre-Chorus

I was all alone, crying in the dark

Then I heard His voice, leaving now its mark

Shadows closed me in, I was full of fear

Then He came to me, God is close and near

Chorus

Emmanuel is here with us right now

Heaven touched the earth, God has made His vow

In the darkest night, He will hold me near

In my deepest pain, He will stay right here

Verse 2

Born in lowly place, lying in the hay

Shepherds saw the star, guiding them His way

God has come to earth, born to set us free

Not in royal halls, born to die for me

Pre-Chorus

I was all alone, crying in the dark

Then I heard His voice, leaving now its mark

Shadows closed me in, I was full of fear

Then He came to me, God is close and near

Chorus

Emmanuel is here with us right now

Heaven touched the earth, God has made His vow

In the darkest night, He will hold me near

In my deepest pain, He will stay right here

Bridge

I will never walk, never walk alone

God is with us now, He has made us home

Final Chorus

Emmanuel is here with us for all

Heaven calls His name, God has heard our call

Darkness fades away, morning brings the light

God is with us now, shining through the bright

Outro

When the night is dark, He is close and near

When I feel alone, He is close and here

God is with us now, He will stay with us

I can rest in Him, I can place my trust
