Emmanuel--God With Us

WOW, what a night!   Last night several from our church went to see "Mercy Me" in concert in Kearney.  This band is best known for their song "I Can Only Imagine"   This was much more than a concert.  It was a night of worship of our great God.   Mercy Me's new album "All That Is Within Me" will be in stores in November.  But until then you can listen to their amazing song "God With Us" by clicking here   Or you can read the lyrics below.  God is truly with us and so we give all that is within us to our Savior, Emmanuel.

 

GOD WITH US--Mercy Me
Who are we
That You would be mindful of us
What do You see
That’s worth looking our way
We are free
In ways that we never should be
Sweet release
From the grip of these chains
Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing
           Chorus
                     All that is within me cries
                      For You alone be glorified
                     Emmanuel
                     God with us
                   My heart sings a brand new song
                  The debt is paid these chains are gone
                   Emmanuel
                   God with us
Lord You know
Our hearts don’t deserve Your glory
Still You show
A love we cannot afford
Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing
             Chorus
              Bridge
Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary
Nevertheless we lay it at Your feet

It was so much fun and so awesome to see so many people of all ages coming together to worship and praise God. I am so glad that I went. Sasha
