Emmanuel (song)

I recently discovered a new song by one of my favorite artists, which was released a few years ago. I have posted about songs by Laura Story before (here and here), and this one is one of my new favorites! I love her meaningful lyrics, her sweet voice, and her sincere devotion to our God.

You can listen to and download this song on iTunes here.

Emmanuel

Lyrics:

Once in royal David’s city

stood a lowly cattle shed,

where a mother laid her baby

in a manger bed:

Mary was that mother mild,

Jesus Christ her little child.

Chorus:

Emmanuel

The promise kept

Its longing of my heart for God in flesh

Through this child, all earth is blessed

Emmanuel

He came down to earth from heaven,

who is God and Lord of all,

and his shelter was a stable,

and his cradle was a stall;

with the poor, the scorned, the lowly,

lived on earth our Savior holy.

Bridge:

Our answered prayer

Our faith’s reward

Redemption’s near

Redemption’s here

Alt Chorus:

Emmanuel

We will rejoice

We will worship you, our Savior and our Lord

We will join creation’s voice

Emmanuel
