I’ve been listening to this song on repeat lately. It’s just such a simple, wonderful reminder of how Emmanuel really is with us. He’s not dead, He’s alive and He’s with us on every step of this journey we call life. And I’m so thankful for that because I’m gonna need to remember that when I’m on the race and things get stressful or painful or overwhelming. These lyrics are a great reminder: we are free from the grip of the chains of sin because of Christ! Let’s worship Him with all that is in us and glorify His name!
God With Us
by Mercy Me
Who are we
That You would be mindful of us?
What do You see
That’s worth looking our way?
We are free
In ways that we never should be;
Sweet release from the grip of these chains.
Like hinges straining from the weight,
My heart no longer can keep from singing:
All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified!
Emmanuel, God with us!
My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid,
These chains are gone!
Emmanuel God with us!
Lord You know
Our hearts don’t deserve Your glory.
Still You show
A love we cannot afford.
Like hinges straining from the weight,
My heart no longer can keep from singing:
All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified!
Emmanuel, God with us!
My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid,
These chains are gone!
Emmanuel God with us!
Such a tiny offering
Compared to Calvary
But nevertheless
We lay it at your feet. [x2]
All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified!
Emmanuel, God with us!
My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid,
These chains are gone!
Emmanuel God with us!
