Tell the Story
She called each one by name
Said, children, listen to me
I've a story to tell, a story
Of the One who came to Be
She held her youngest son
Began, with tears in her eye
He was the Father's only Son
He had not many, as do I.
In Bethlehem, so long ago
He was born one holy night
Immanuel, they called him
Who came to set things right.
As I have told you of Him
So you must tell the world
For at each heart, like yours
Satan's darts are hurled.
Immanuel, they called him
And He is with us still
Will you not tell of Him
That every heart be filled?
Note: This was a song written many years ago, titled Immanuel. All it took to turn it into a poem, was take
off the chorus and change the title.
Chorus:
Immanuel, Immanuel,
His name is Immanuel
The One who came to be
Immanuel, Immanuel,
God's love for you and me.
