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
Emmanuel
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
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
