MP3: Emmanuel

Emmanuel - Song History

WORDS & MUSIC
Dennis Jernigan

March 11, 2019

 

This song was received on March 11, 2019 in the midst of struggling through damage to my vocal cords and a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease. God is with me through whatever earthly trials I must face. That truth in and of itself gives me tremendous hope…and reminds me that my God wastes nothing in my life - not even the things the enemy means for evil against me. Not even my own failures. Not even my sorrows. Not even my wounds. Not one thing will He waste if I bring it to Him in honest confession and surrender. During the course of the birth of this song, there was also a family who is part of All In All Church struggling with the sudden loss of their 29 year old daughter/sister/aunt. I dedicate this song to them.

Mat 1:23 NASB
"BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, "GOD WITH US."

 

 

Verse

My flesh is weak

The struggle is so very, very real

But I know I'm not alone

Even through the deepest pain I feel

Here is my heart

I humbly bow before You as I kneel

And I know I'm not alone

Even though my wounds may never heal

 

Chorus

Emmanuel! Emanuel!

God With Us! You are Emanuel!

Emanuel! Emanuel!

God With Us! God With Us!

You are Emanuel!

 

Verse

Here in my mind

The battle rages deep and so intense

But I know I'm not alone

In the fray You come to my defense

You are my joy

You alone are my heart's true desire

And I know I'm not alone

Fan the flame of Your love's holy fire!

 

Chorus

 

Bridge

Never alone! Not alone in stormy weather!

Never alone! Not alone in the fire!

Never alone! Not alone! Not ever!

Never alone! Not alone through any trial!

 

Never alone! Not alone in the desert!

Never alone! Not alone in my pain!

Never alone! Not alone! Not ever!

God With Us!

Your presence like a never ending rain!

 

 

Chorus
