"We Need Emmanuel" lyrics

I'm not entirely sure what's come over me
Up in the attic with that old fake Christmas tree
Barely November, I can't remember me
Looking for Christmas so early
Could be the days getting shorter and darker now
All the world's problems I never could figure out
What's got me wishing for snow
Not sure but I think I know

God with us
Will you come be with us?
'Cause we need a little help
We need Emmanuel
Love come down
Sing with the angels now
Just like the first Noel
We need Emmanuel

Christmas this year doesn't feel quite the same as it
Did back when I was a boy
The specials on TV and Holly and maybe it's just me
But why's it so hard to find joy?
I hope I don't sound ungrateful
There's food on the table and family around
The Christ in a manger, could I ask a favor?
Could I just hold you right now?

God with us
Will you come be with us?
'Cause we need a little help
We need Emmanuel
Love come down
Sing with the angels now
Just like the first Noel
We need Emmanuel

God with us
God with us
God with us
God with us
God with us

God with us
Will you come be with us?
'Cause we need a little help
We need Emmanuel
Love come down
Sing with the angels now
Just like the first Noel
We need Emmanuel
Just like the first Noel
We need Emmanuel
Emmanuel
