POINT OF GRACE - Emmanuel God With Us O Come, O Come Emmanuel lyrics

rate me

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