Emmanuel.
I am held in your wounded hands of glory.
Living in the faith of your story.
My sins never measured
To the faith of your eternal love.
I soak in your light.
You are of faithful presence,
My joy when I need reverence.
You saved me so my shame is no longer heavy,
Held in your wounded hands of glory.
When I am feeling restless,
You lift my heart to you.
You never leave me lonely.
In your wounded hands you hold me.
Emmanuel.
Every time I stumble, you find me in my Egypt,
You pull me from the fire.
With the oil full within me, I soak in your glory.
Fill my soul with your spirit.
I pour it from the rooftops,
Let it carry through the shadows
And bring your holy light to the darkness.
You are of faithful presence,
My joy when I need reverence.
My shame is no longer heavy,
Held in your wounded hands of glory.
Emmanuel.
I am held in your wounded hands of glory.
Saved by your salvation.
Every misstep rerouted.
Your grace is steady beside me
As I rewrite my story.
I vow to live in your presence.
Put the weight down at the altar.
With you, love never falters,
Never judges,
Never leaves.
I am held in your wounded hands of glory.
Saved by your salvation.
Every misstep rerouted.
Even when I try to walk away,
When the oil gets low
And I grow tired.
I am held in your wounded hands of glory.
Saved by your salvation.
I am held in your wounded hands of glory.
Saved by your salvation.
I rewrote my story,
Held in your wounded hands of glory.
Emmanuel.
