God With Us

This song by MercyMe has really been speaking to me lately, so I wanted to share it with you, and pray you will also be blessed by the message and words (which I have always printed below):



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.

[chorus]
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.
[back to chorus]

Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary
Nevertheless we lay it at your feet.
