emmanuel, god with us

Singer:amy grant

we dim the light

we stoke the fire

we breathe the ever-green

young ones wait

while the old ones make up

tales of how it used to be

china dolls

candy corn

painted wooden toys

treasures found to the wondrous sound

of carolling the savior

born to us on christmas morn

emmanuel

god with us

emmanuel

emmanuel

god with us

the son of israel

and still he calls through the night

beyond the days of old

a voice of peace to the weary ones

who struggle with the human soul

all of us travelers

through a gvien time

who can know what tomorrow holds

but over the horizon

surely you and i will find

and the years they come

and the years they go

through we may forget somehow

that the child once born in bethlehem

is still among us now
