Mystery
We heard the gate slam behind us
And felt the cold shame of tears upon our faces
Orphans of Eden, wandr’ing homeless,
A broken promise bitter upon our lips
Banished from your face to walk in the dust
Holding your promise so close to us,
Emmanuel! God with us.
Savior! Anointed one
Emmanuel! God with us!
Savior! Jesus!
Loneliness haunts us, a shadow,
Dreams of a garden float before our eyes
We’re like a snowflake on a highway
Lost like a teardrop in a sea of sand.
Your love, O Lord, it is amazing gift
Mystery how you still love us in Him.
Emmanuel! God with us.
Savior! Anointed one
Emmanuel! God with us!
Savior! Jesus!
