Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who are we
That You would be mindful of us?
What do You see
That's worth looking our way?
[Verse 2]
We are free
In ways that we never should be
Sweet release
From the grip of these chains
[Verse 3]
Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singin'
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Lord, You know
Our hearts don't deserve Your glory
Still You show
A love we cannot afford
[Verse 6]
Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Such a tiny offering
Compared to Calvary
And nevertheless
We lay it at your feet
[Verse 9]
Such a tiny offering
Compared to Calvary
But nevertheless
We lay this at your feet
[Verse 10]
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
