The world waited patiently

We’ve been here before

Waiting on a promised king

The one to end the war

And he came down

But not where we thought he should be

This king, laid down

In the dirtiest place he could be

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

He chose to be with us

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

He came to wake us up

Your kingdom is here

And you will reign

And break for us

The power of shame

The blessed son

Brought here to be

Our God and our peace

You could have come in glory

You could shake the earth and sky

You could have come to palaces

But instead you come to die

You came down

To bring new life in me

A man, only dirt

My heart will always be worshiping

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

He chose to be with us

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

He came to wake us up

Your kingdom is here

And you will reign

And break for us

The power of shame

The blessed son

Brought here to be

Our God and our peace

To him who came so humbly

to this barn that is me

I will worship you

And offer you my heart

Be born in me

and we’ll never be apart
