Emmanuel Tonight (Modern Christmas)
Lyrics
Verse 1
Candles flicker in the window
Snow is falling soft and slow
Every heart that's tired of waiting
Hear the news from long ago
Pre-Chorus
Heaven bent down low
So the world would know
Chorus
Emmanuel tonight
God is with us in the light
Every shadow has to run
At the coming of the Son
Lift your eyes, the night is bright
Emmanuel tonight
Verse 2
Born into a quiet stable
Wrapped in love and simple cloth
Strength that came to us as weakness
Found the ones who felt they're lost
Pre-Chorus
Heaven bent down low
So the world would know
Chorus
Emmanuel tonight
God is with us in the light
Every shadow has to run
At the coming of the Son
Lift your eyes, the night is bright
Emmanuel tonight
Bridge
You are near when we are lonely
You are here when hope is thin
Open wide the doors of every heart
Let the King of peace come in
Final Chorus
Emmanuel tonight
God is with us in the light
Every shadow has to run
At the coming of the Son
Lift your eyes, the night is bright
Emmanuel tonight
Outro
God with us
Emmanuel tonight
