"Emmanuel / O Holy Night" lyrics

In the beginning You spoke, there was light
Your word formed creation, and your breath gave us life
We walked in the garden, it brought You delight
How you love to be with us, we were fully alive

You have always been, You will always be
Emmanuel

Our fellowship broken, as we were deceived
The joy of the garden, was now out of reach
You chose to pursue us, You longed for us still
You did not forsake us, and You never will

You have always been, You will always be
Emmanuel

A pillar of fire, that led through the night
A cloud of Your glory, no one could deny
We built You a temple, but You wanted more
You longed for a people that could be called Yours

You have always been, You will always be
Emmanuel

And then in the silence, the Word became flesh
Our God dwelt among us, You gave us Your best
You offered communion, You gave up Your life
You rose up in victory, and healed the divide

You have always been, You will always be

Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel

Fall on your knees, O hear the angels voices
O night divine, O night, when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine

The day is soon coming, You will be revealed
Your dream of communion, finally fulfilled
We'll see a new heaven, we'll walk a new earth
You will be ours Lord, and we will be Yours (we will be Yours)

In this very moment, God You are here
You're with and within us, You love to be near
Filled with your Spirit, a promise of love
A blessed assurance of what is to come

You have always been, You will always be

Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel

Emmanuel (Emmanuel)
Emmanuel
