Emmanuel

Written By Kris Redus & Steven Hansen

Verse 1:
Christ the guiding, all defining
All consuming light
All creating, all sustaining
Making all things right

Pre Chorus:
From a throne to the dust of the earth
In the light of a star on a holy night

Chorus 1:
Come and lift your eyes - our savior
Heaven’s gift inside - a manger
Death had laid us down in the grave
But Emmanuel has come to save

Verse 2:
Dawn is breaking, hope is racing
Love’s redeeming light
Curse unfolding, melting slowly
Giving way to life

Chorus 2:
Come and lift your eyes - our savior
Heaven’s gift inside - a manger
Death had laid us down in the grave
But Emmanuel has come to save

Bridge:
He was God, but he came down to save us
Lived our life, but was holy and blameless
Was condemned on the cross as we witnessed
Bowed His head and he said it is finished

Chorus 2:
Come and lift your eyes, our savior
Knew the power of love was greater
After three days down in the grave
Emmanuel would rise to save

Chorus 3:
Endless glory now awaits him
Evermore resound - our praises
Death had laid us down in the grave
But Emmanuel has come to save

Bridge 2:
To the Lamb who was slain for the nations
Now enthroned as the King of creation
All our songs, and the sum of our praises
All belong to the King of the ages

Ending:
(Oh come, Emmanuel)
In this manger, the King of the Ages
(Oh come, Emmanuel)
In this manger, the King of the Ages
Oh come, Emmanuel
