Testo Emmanuel

Carry me to the place I know
Where the river runs so deep
Where the water moves over all of me
And I all but drown in your mercy

Carry me from this hell called home
Where the wolves like shepherds lead
Congregations far from the gospel's heart To the desert of prosperity

Emmanuel
God with us, where are you now
Emmanuel
God with us, be near somehow

Lift me up to the place I know
In the shadow of your wings
Where I'm safe from harm hidden in your arms
Never far from the sound of your breathing

Lift us up from this hell called home
Where the blood of children speaks
Of the wars we've made, Of the lives we trade For this desert of prosperity
