Words and Music by Shannon Cerneka
Refrain:
Jesus is here, Emmanuel, God with us, anointed one.
Born to set God’s people free, praise to Christ the saving one.
Verse 1:
We the nation of the Lord, we the people of the king,
Come with everything we have, and as one we sing.
Verse 2:
Forged as messengers of hope, given eyes and ears of faith,
We encounter Jesus Christ in each human face.
Verse 3:
Jesus gathers us together, Jesus shares himself as Word,
Jesus feeds us with his body, sends us forth to love and serve.
