Our God Is With Us

One of us is crying as our hopes and dreams are led away in chains
And we're left all alone
One of us is dyin' as our love is slowly lowered in the grave
Oh and we're left on our own

But for all of us who journey through the dark abyss of loneliness
There comes a great announcement we are never alone
For the maker of each heart that breaks, the giver of each breath we take
Has come to earth and given hope it's birth.

CHORUS
And our God is with us Emmanuel
He's come to save us Emmanuel
And we will never face life alone
Now that God has made Himself known
As Father and Friend with us through the end Emmanuel

He spoke with prophets' voices and showed Himself in a cloud of fire,
But no one had seen His face;
Until the One Most Holy revealed to us His perfect heart's desire,
And left His rightful place;

And in one glorious moment, all eternity was shaken,
As God broke through the darkness that had kept us apart.
And with love that conquers loneliness, and hope that fills all emptiness
He came to earth to show our worth.

CHORUS
And our God is with us Emmanuel
He's come to save us Emmanuel
And we will never face life alone
Now that God has made Himself known
As Father and Friend with us through the end Emmanuel

So rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel has come!
And our God is with us, Emmanuel.
He's come to save us, Emmanuel.
And we will never face life alone
Now that God has made Himself known,
As Father and Friend, with us through the end, Emmanuel.
Our God is with us, Emmanuel!
