about

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
The greatest news the angels tell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Oh God with us, Emmanuel


When Mary was a girl
She’d dream of what she’d be
But never were her dreams so wild
As all she’d come to see

She’d see the Angel there declare
She was the favoured one
She’d see the wrenching heart of love
And yet her ‘yes’ was strong

Oh I will be there by your side
And I will be there all your life
And I will be there through the hardest times

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
The greatest news the angels tell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Oh God with us, Emmanuel

The shocking news was told
What would poor Joseph say?
But this young man had dreams himself
And strength enough to stay

Oh I will be there by your side
And I will be there all your life
And I will be there through the hardest times

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
The greatest news the angels tell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Oh God with us, Emmanuel

Elizabeth had thought her chance was gone
But Zechariah, speechless, brought
His own good news of John

The unborn John would know
The presence of his Lord
And wriggling, kicking, dancing, showed
He knew before he saw

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
The greatest news the angels tell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Oh God with us,

Oh I will be there by your side
And I will be there all your life
And I will be there through the hardest times
