D                       G       A    D
From the squalor of a borrowed stable,
                     G        A
By the spirit and a virgin's faith;
D                       G        A
To the anguish and the shame of scandal
D                        G      D
Came the Saviour of the human race!
D         G         D                  G        Bm
But the skies were filled, with the praise of heav'n,
F#m         D            A
Shepherds listen as the angels tell
        G      D          G       Bm
Of the Gift of God, come down to man
G       D            A    D
At the dawning of Immanuel

D                       G       A    D
King of heaven now the Friend of sinners,
                     G        A
Humble servant in the Father's hands,
D                       G        A
Filled with power and the Holy Spirit,
D                        G      D
Filled with mercy for the broken man
D         G       D           G        Bm
Yes he walked my road, and He felt my pain,
F#m         D            A
Joys and sorrows that I know so well;
        G         D              G      Bm
Yet His righteous steps, give me hope again -
G       D            A    D
I will follow my Immanuel!

D                       G       A    D
Through the kisses of a friend's betrayal,
                     G        A
He was lifted on a cruel cross;
D                       G        A
He was punished for a world's transgressions,
D                        G      D
He was suffering to save the lost
D  G          D          G        Bm
He fights for breath, He fights for me
F#m         D            A
Loosing sinners from the claims of hell;
     G      D          G        Bm
And with a shout, our souls are free -
G       D            A    D
Death defeated by Immanuel!

Now He's standing in the place of honour,
                     G        A
Crowned with glory on the highest throne,
D                   G      A
Interceding for His own beloved
D                       G        D
Till His Father calls to bring them home!
D         G         D            G        Bm
Then the skies will part, as the trumpet sounds
F#m         D         A
Hope of heaven or the fear of hell;
        G      D               G       Bm
But the Bride will run, to her Lover's arms,
G       D       A    D
Giving glory to Immanuel!
