Emmanuel - Hannah Kerr

He was not the One we thought would come

We were looking for a king

But He didn’t come in glory

The Author of the oceans and the sun

Still, He chose to be

Written in our story

So He could feel our flesh and blood

And we could know His love

Emmanuel

A manger for a bed

No crown upon His head

He came like us instead

Emmanuel

He meets you where you are

He holds your heavy heart

Our God is with us all

Emmanuel

Emmanuel

It was no mistake that He arrived

Lost without a home

Helpless as a baby

So if we’re feeling lost in our own lives

We are not alone

He has felt the same things

Because He lived in flesh and blood

We can know His love

Emmanuel

A manger for a bed

No crown upon His head

He came like us instead

Emmanuel

He meets you where you are

He holds your heavy heart

Our God is with us all

Emmanuel!

Emmanuel

Oh, what an invitation

Oh, His only expectation

Is for us to come and offer Him our all

To kneel before the Child who shall be called

Emmanuel

A manger for a bed

No crown upon His head

He came like us instead

Emmanuel

He meets you where you are

He holds your heavy heart

Our God is with us all

Emmanuel!
