From The Squalor Of A Borrowed Stable (Immanuel)

歌詞

From the squalor of a borrowed stable By the Spirit and a virgin's faith To the anguish and the shame of scandal Came the Saviour of the human race But the skies were filled with the praise of heaven Shepherds listen as the angels tell Of the Gift of God come down to man At the dawning of Immanuel King of heaven now the Friend of sinners Humble servant in the Father's hands Filled with power and the Holy Spirit Filled with mercy for the broken man Yes, He walked my road and He felt my pain Joys and sorrows that I know so well Yet His righteous steps give me hope again I will follow my Immanuel Through the kisses of a friend's betrayal He was lifted on a cruel cross He was punished for a world's transgressions He was suffering to save the lost He fights for breath, He fights for me Loosing sinners from the claims of hell And with a shout our souls are free Death defeated by Immanuel Now He's standing in the place of honour Crowned with glory on the highest throne Interceding for His own beloved Till His Father calls to bring them home Then the skies will part as the trumpet sounds Hope of heaven or the fear of hell But the Bride will run to her Lover's arms Giving glory to Immanuel
