our god is with us

Steven Curtis Chapman

One of us is cryinââ?¬â?¢ as our hopes and dreams are led away in chains,
And weââ?¬â?¢re left all alone;
One of us is dyinââ?¬â?¢ as our love is slowly lowered in the grave,
Oh and weââ?¬â?¢re left all alone.
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 itââ?¬â?¢s birth.

CHORUS
And our God is with us, Emmanuel.
Heââ?¬â?¢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 prophetsââ?¬â?¢ 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 heartââ?¬â?¢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)

So rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel has come!
And our God is with us, Emmanuel.
Heââ?¬â?¢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!
