Christmas Song #16 - Immanuel Our God is with us


This past week we had the joy of reconnecting with some great friends!  One of the families that we had the blessing of staying with was Denny & Sue Shaffner.  We love their hospitality, their warm inviting home, and the heart felt fellowship!  As the evening was drawing to a close and our little one was getting ready to fall asleep Denny pulled out his guitar to play for her a lullaby.... it didn't stop there we continued to sing well after Ella went to bed.  This song was a song that we were trying to remember how it went, so this one is dedicated to our beloved Shaffner friends!  You are a gift to us!!

Our God is with!  If God is with us, who can stand against us!  What a promise!!!
A sign shall be given
A virgin will conceive
A human baby bearing
Undiminished deity
The glory of the nations
A light for all to see
That hope for all who will embrace
His warm reality

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

For all those who live in the shadow of death
A glorious light has dawned
For all those who stumble in the darkness
Behold your light has come

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

So what will be your answer?
Will you hear the call?
Of Him who did not spare His son
But gave him for us all
On earth there is no power
There is no depth or height
That could ever separate us
From the love of God in Christ

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel
