Who are we--- that You would be mindful of us?
What do You see--- that's worth looking our way?
We are free--- in ways that we never should be
Sweet release--- from the grip of these chains
Like hinges straining from the weight,
My heart no longer can keep from singing
All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified:
Emmanuel, God with us
My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid, these chains are gone
Emmanuel, God with us
Lord, You know--- our hearts don't deserve Your glory;
Still You show--- a love we cannot afford
Like hinges straining from the weight,
My heart no longer can keep from singing
All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified:
Emmanuel, God with us
My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid, these chains are gone
Emmanuel, God with us
Such a tiny offering
Compared to Calvary;
Nevertheless,
We lay it at Your feet
Such a tiny offering
Compared to Calvary;
Nevertheless,
We lay this at Your feet
All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified:
Emmanuel, God with us
My heart sings a brand new song
My debt is paid, these chains are gone
Emmanuel, God with us
