Emmanuel, God with us
It wasn’t that He died
it was that He came
It wasn’t the act of dying
it was the act of loving
It wasn’t His death
it was His life
it was all for love
all for love of me
I have focused on the nails
while He was focused on our souls
I was looking at the cross
while He was longing for my heart
I didn’t realize the plan
Was to love us through our days
God with us, God with us
to take us to eternity.
Emmanuel, God with us
A miraculous plan.
We needn’t do a thing
to live forever and a day
You did it all when you came
And loved our sins away.
