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      A 
Came the Saviour of the human race! 
D         G         D                  E        B 
But the skies were filled, with the praise of heav'n, 
F#m         D 
Shepherds listen as the angels tell 
        G      D          A       B 
Of the Gift of God, come down to man 
G       D            A    D 
At the dawning of Immanuel

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      A 
Filled with mercy for the broken man 
D         G         D                  E        B 
Yes he walked my road, and He felt my pain, 
F#m         D 
Joys and sorrows that I know so well; 
        G      D          A 
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      A 
He was suffering to save the lost 
D         G         D                  E        B 
He fights for breath, He fights for me 
F#m         D 
Loosing sinners from the claims of hell; 
        G      D          A 
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        A 
Till His Father calls us to bring them home! 
D         G         D                  E        B 
Then the skies will part, as the trumpet sounds 
F#m         D 
Hope of heaven or the fear of hell; 
        G      D          A 
But the Bride will run, to her Lover's arms, 
G       D            A    D 
Giving glory to Immanuel!
