You tore the night apart
and ripped the silent skies in half
Your glory breaking through the dark
And here our worlds collide
divinity in man confined
This great design drawn out for me
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel, hallelujah
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel, hallelujah
You hold the ends of time
yet place Yourself here into mine
My life is now forever changed
Our eyes be lifted up
our great eternal hope arise
This great design drawn out for me
In our silence
Heaven whispered out
In our darkness
Glory pierced the night
We were broken
But now we’re lifted up
King of heaven
God is here with us
Hallelujah
Angels cried aloud
Singing holy
All the praise resound
King of heaven
On the earth be found
King of heaven
On the earth be found
