Intro
[Bbmaj7]
No room for You here, the innkeeper said
[F/A]
So they laid down Your head in a manger bed
[Gm7]
Under stars cold and bright in the quiet of night
[Ebmaj7]
Heaven drew near in the darkest of light
Verse 1
[Bbmaj7]
A mother in pain, a father unsure
[F/A]
But they trusted the angel, their hearts were pure
[Gm7]
Wrapped in cloth, not in gold
[Ebmaj7]
In the silence foretold—
[Bbmaj7]
God with us, born so small
Pre-Chorus
[Bbmaj7]
Oh Emmanuel, in the dust and the straw
[F/A]
You came not in glory, but under the law
[Gm7]
With the cry of a child, God's purpose to fill
[Ebmaj7]
Heaven is near—
[Bbmaj7]
God with us still
Chorus
[Bbmaj7]
Wake up, Joseph… move in the night
[F/A]
Herod is raging, take flight, take flight
[Gm7]
Through the desert they fled, through fear and through dust
[Ebmaj7]
The promise was carried in faith and in trust
[Tag]
[Bbmaj7]
A refugee child, with no earthly home
[F/A]
In Your own creation, still forced to roam
[Gm7]
The danger was real, the silence was loud
[Ebmaj7]
But You walked with the broken, not just the proud
Verse 2
[Bbmaj7]
Oh Emmanuel, in the dust and the straw
[F/A]
You came not in glory, but under the law
[Gm7]
With the cry of a child, God's purpose to fill
[Ebmaj7]
Heaven is near—
[Bbmaj7]
God with us still
Pre-Chorus
[Bbmaj7]
What kind of love would choose to descend
[F/A]
To live as we live, to weep as a friend?
[Gm7]
To carry our burdens, to share in our pain
[Ebmaj7]
To walk every road, through loss and through rain
Bridge
[Gm7]
You're not far above us, aloof or apart
[Dm7]
You're here in our struggle, You dwell in our hearts
[Ebmaj7]
In laughter and loss, in wonder and will
[F7]
God in the flesh—
[Gm7]
God with us still
[Final Chorus]
[Bbmaj7]
Oh Emmanuel, in the dust and the straw
[F/A]
You came not in glory, but under the law
[Gm7]
With the cry of a child, God's purpose to fill
[Ebmaj7]
Heaven is near—
[Bbmaj7]
God with us still
Outro
[Gm7]
Heaven is near—
[Dm7]
God with us still
