Hannah Kerr - Emmanuel Lyrics

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, Emmanuel
