Immanuel

From the squalor of a borrowed stable

By the spirit and a virgins faith

To the anguish and the shame of scandal

Came the savior of the human race

But the skies were filled with the praise of heav'n

Shepherds listen while the angels tell

Of the gift of God, come down to a man

At the dawning of Immanuel

King of heaven now the friend of sinners

Humble servant in the father's hands

Filled with power and the Holy spirit

Filled with mercy for the broken man

Yes He Walked my road, and He felt my pain

Joys and sorrows that I know so well

Yet His righteous steps give me hope again

I will follow my Immanuel

Through the kisses of a friends betrayal

He was lifted on a cruel cross

He was punished for a worlds transgressions

He was suffering to save the lost

He fights for breath, He fights for me

Losing sinners from the claims of hell

And with a shout our souls are free

Death defeated by Immanuel

Now He's standing in the place of honour

Crowned with glory on the highest throne

Interceding for His own beloved

Till His father calls to bring them home

Then the skies will part and the trumpets sound

Hope of heaven or the fear of hell

But the bride will run to her lover's arms

Giving glory to Immanuel
