He walked where I walked
He stood where I stand
He felt what I feel
He understands.
He knows my frailty
Shared my humanity
Tempted in every way
Yet without sin
God with us!
So close to us
God with us
Emmanuel (repeat)
One of a hated race
Stung by the prejudice
Suffering injustice
Yet He forgives!
Wept for my wasted years
Paid for my wickedness
He died in my place
That I might live
Emmanuel
Emmanuel (repeat)
He stood where I stand
He felt what I feel
He understands.
He knows my frailty
Shared my humanity
Tempted in every way
Yet without sin
God with us!
So close to us
God with us
Emmanuel (repeat)
One of a hated race
Stung by the prejudice
Suffering injustice
Yet He forgives!
Wept for my wasted years
Paid for my wickedness
He died in my place
That I might live
Emmanuel
Emmanuel (repeat)
