Immanuel(From the squalor)
From the squalor of a borrowed stable,by the spirit and a virgin's faith;to the anguish and the shame of scandalcame 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 Godcome down to man at the dawning of Immanuel
VERSE 2: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 manYes. 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!
VERSE 3:Through the kisses of a friend's betrayal,He was lifted on a cruel cross;He was punished for the world's transgressions,He was suffering to save the lostHe fights for breath, He fights for meLoosing sinners from the claims of hell;And with a shout our souls are free -Death defeated by Immanuel!
VERSE 4:Now He's standing in the place of honour,Crowned with glory on the highest throne,Interceding for His own belovedTill His Father calls us to bring him home!Then the skies will part as the trumpet soundsHope of heaven or the fear of hell;But the Bride will run to her Lover's arms,Giving glory to Immanuel!
