Emmanuel

When the night was heavy and the road was long,

When hope felt weak but the fear felt strong,

A light broke through where the shadows fell,

Heaven whispered softly—Emmanuel.

Emmanuel, God with us,

Walking every mile in the dust.

When I can’t stand, when I can’t see,

Emmanuel is carrying me.

Emmanuel… Emmanuel…

In the valley low where the tears run deep,

Promises He made, promises He keeps.

When my voice gives out and my prayers feel small,

I still hear mercy when I call.

Emmanuel, God with us,

Stronger than fear, faithful and just.

When my hands let go and my heart can’t cope,

Emmanuel is my hope.

Emmanuel… Emmanuel…

Not a distant king on a distant throne,

But flesh and bone, He made His home.

Every hurt, every cry He knew,

That’s how close His love came through.

Emmanuel, God with us,

Born in the low so He could lift us up.

From the manger to the cross I see,

Emmanuel still walks with me.

Emmanuel… Emmanuel…

When the night is gone and faith is sight,

I’ll still sing His holy name.

Emmanuel…

God with us… always.
