Emmanuel, God With Us / O Come O Come Emmanuel |
She lit a candle in a downtown cathedral |
Quietly confessing, counting on a blessing |
She looked as if she had nowhere to go |
I could see her weeping |
Hands together hoping you would hear… |
This is the time of year |
We hold our families near |
But God let us be a friend to the hurting |
Oh Emmanuel, God with us |
Spirit revealed in us |
That we may be your hope to the world |
Oh Emmanuel, God with us |
With a light to break the darkness |
That we may show your hope to the world |
Emmanuel, God with us |
Be God in us |
I moved in closer just so I could see her face |
Maybe she was a mother |
Someone’s only daughter |
Her silver hair shimmered like the snow |
Christmas bells were ringing |
Now beside her kneeling I asked her name |
(And she said) |
This was the time of year |
I had my family near |
But they’ve all gone and I have been so lonely |
So with my family that Christmas day |
A girl of sixty years would laugh and play |
And as we watched her dance our eyes were full of tears… |
