Stuart Townend – Immanuel (Guitar)

D                       G       A    D
From the squalor of a borrowed stable,

                     G        A
By the spirit and a virgin's faith;

D                       G        A
To the anguish and the shame of scandal

D                        G      D
Came the Saviour of the human race!

D         G         D                  G        Bm
But the skies were filled, with the praise of heav'n,

F#m         D            A
Shepherds listen as the angels tell

        G      D          G       Bm
Of the Gift of God, come down to man

G       D            A    D
At the dawning of Immanuel

D                       G       A    D
King of heaven now the Friend of sinners,

                     G        A
Humble servant in the Father's hands,

D                       G        A
Filled with power and the Holy Spirit,

D                        G      D
Filled with mercy for the broken man

D         G       D           G        Bm
Yes he walked my road, and He felt my pain,

F#m         D            A
Joys and sorrows that I know so well;

        G         D              G      Bm
Yet His righteous steps, give me hope again -

G       D            A    D
I will follow my Immanuel!

D                       G       A    D
Through the kisses of a friend's betrayal,

                     G        A
He was lifted on a cruel cross;

D                       G        A
He was punished for a world's transgressions,

D                        G      D
He was suffering to save the lost

D  G          D          G        Bm
He fights for breath, He fights for me

F#m         D            A
Loosing sinners from the claims of hell;

     G      D          G        Bm
And with a shout, our souls are free -

G       D            A    D
Death defeated by Immanuel!

D                       G         A  D
Now He's standing in the place of honour,

                     G        A
Crowned with glory on the highest throne,

D                   G      A
Interceding for His own beloved

D                       G        D
Till His Father calls to bring them home!

D         G         D            G        Bm
Then the skies will part, as the trumpet sounds

F#m         D         A
Hope of heaven or the fear of hell;

        G      D               G       Bm
But the Bride will run, to her Lover's arms,

G       D       A    D
Giving glory to Immanuel!

D         G         D            G        Bm
Then the skies will part, as the trumpet sounds

F#m         D         A
Hope of heaven or the fear of hell;

        G      D               G       Bm
But the Bride will run, to her Lover's arms,

G       D       A    D
Giving glory to Immanuel!
