[Intro]
D G D G D
D G A D
From the squalor of a borrowed stable,
G A
By the spirit and a virgin's faith;
D G A
To the anguish and the shame of scandal
D G D
Came the Saviour of the human race!
D G D G Bm
But the skies were filled, with the praise of heav'n,
F#m D A
Shepherds listen as the angels tell
G D G Bm
Of the Gift of God, come down to man
G D A D
At the dawning of Immanuel
[Instrumental]
D G A
D G A D
King of heaven now the Friend of sinners,
G A
Humble servant in the Father's hands,
D G A
Filled with power and the Holy Spirit,
D G D
Filled with mercy for the broken man
D G D G Bm
Yes he walked my road, and He felt my pain,
F#m D A
Joys and sorrows that I know so well;
G D G Bm
Yet His righteous steps, give me hope again -
G D A D
I will follow my Immanuel!
[Instrumental]
D G A D G A
D G A D
Through the kisses of a friend's betrayal,
G A
He was lifted on a cruel cross;
D G A
He was punished for a world's transgressions,
D G D
He was suffering to save the lost
D G D G Bm
He fights for breath, He fights for me
F#m D A
Loosing sinners from the claims of hell;
G D G Bm
And with a shout, our souls are free -
G D A D
Death defeated by Immanuel!
[Instrumental]
D G A D G A
D G A D
Now He's standing in the place of honour,
G A
Crowned with glory on the highest throne,
D G A
Interceding for His own beloved
D G D
Till His Father calls to bring them home!
D G D G Bm
Then the skies will part, as the trumpet sounds
F#m D A
Hope of heaven or the fear of hell;
G D G Bm
But the Bride will run, to her Lover's arms,
G D A D
Giving glory to Immanuel!
