Emmanuel

God with us
You are never alone and always cared for and loved
God is for us
You have an Advocate, Someone who will go to battle for you bringing peace
God is in us
You are indwelled with the Holy Spirit, giving strength and counsel for your journey

Fear not, oh, Israel for there is peace still to come
A word to break the silence, a promise set to bloom
The promise to redeem us, one to free us
Break this silence in the violence in our lives

Emmanuel is sure to find us soon
The mighty rule to Jesse’s star of truth
And bring us unto glory, tell His story
Heal the broken and restore thee to His name

The star will guide us to the humble place
Where Christ the King reveals His earthly face
And we will see Emmanuel,
God is with us, God is for us, God is in us
