He walked where I walked 
He stood where I stand 
He felt what I feel 
He understands 
He knows my frailty 
Shared my humanity 
Tempted in every way 
Yet without sin 

God with us 
So close to us 
God with us Emmanuel 
Emmanuel 

One of a hated race 
Stung by the prejudice 
Suffering injustice 
Yet he forgives 
Wept for my wasted years 
Paid for my wickedness 
He died in my place 
That I might live 

Emmanuel 
Emmanuel
