Immanuel

Intro 
Bbmaj7   F/A   Gm7   Ebmaj7 

Intro 
Bbmaj7 
No room for You here, the innkeeper said 
F/A 
So they laid down Your head in a manger bed 
Gm7 
Under stars cold and bright in the quiet of night 
Ebmaj7 
Heaven drew near in the darkest of light 


[Verso 1]
 
Bbmaj7 
A mother in pain, a father unsure 
F/A 
But they trusted the angel, their hearts were pure 
Gm7 
Wrapped in cloth, not in gold 
Ebmaj7 
In the silence foretold 
Bbmaj7 
God with us, born so small 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
Bbmaj7 
Oh Emmanuel, in the dust and the straw 
F/A 
You came not in glory, but under the law 
Gm7 
With the cry of a child, God's purpose to fill 
Ebmaj7 
Heaven is near 
Bbmaj7 
God with us still 
 


[Refrão]
 
Bbmaj7 
Wake up, Joseph move in the night 
F/A 
Herod is raging, take flight, take flight 
Gm7 
Through the desert they fled, through fear and through dust 
Ebmaj7 
The promise was carried in faith and in trust 

Bbmaj7 
A refugee child, with no earthly home 
F/A 
In Your own creation, still forced to roam 
Gm7 
The danger was real, the silence was loud 
Ebmaj7 
But You walked with the broken, not just the proud 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Bbmaj7 
Oh Emmanuel, in the dust and the straw 
F/A 
You came not in glory, but under the law 
Gm7 
With the cry of a child, God's purpose to fill 
Ebmaj7 
Heaven is near 
Bbmaj7 
God with us still 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
Bbmaj7 
What kind of love would choose to descend 
F/A 
To live as we live, to weep as a friend? 
Gm7 
To carry our burdens, to share in our pain 
Ebmaj7 
To walk every road, through loss and through rain 
 


[Ponte]
 
Gm7 
You're not far above us, aloof or apart 
Dm7 
You're here in our struggle, You dwell in our hearts 
Ebmaj7 
In laughter and loss, in wonder and will 
F7 
God in the flesh 
Gm7 
God with us still  

{Final Chorus} 
Bbmaj7 
Oh Emmanuel, in the dust and the straw 
F/A 
You came not in glory, but under the law 
Gm7 
With the cry of a child, God's purpose to fill 
Ebmaj7 
Heaven is near 
Bbmaj7 
God with us still
