Immanuel

Intro: From the squalor of a borrowed stable, By the spirit and a virgin's faith; To the anguish and the shame of scandal Came the Saviour of the human race! But the skies were filled, with the praise of heav'n, Shepherds listen as the angels tell Of the Gift of God, come down to man At the dawning of Immanuel Instrumental 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! Instrumental Through the kisses of a friend's betrayal, He was lifted on a cruel cross; He was punished for a world's transgressions, He was suffering to save the lost He fights for breath, He fights for me Loosing sinners from the claims of hell; And with a shout, our souls are free - Death defeated by Immanuel! Instrumental 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 us to bring them home! Then the skies will part, as the trumpet sounds Hope of heaven or the fear of hell; But the Bride will run, to her Lover's arms, Giving glory to Immanuel! Outro
