Lyrics:
In the beginning, You spoke, there was light
Your Word formed creation and Your breath gave us life
We walked in the garden, it brought You delight
How You loved to be with us, we were fully alive
You have always been
You will always be
Emmanuel
Our fellowship broken as we were deceived
The joy of the garden was now out of reach
But You chose to pursue us, You longed for us still
You did not forsake us, and You never will
You have always been
You will always be
Emmanuel
A pillar of fire that led through the night
The cloud of Your glory no one could deny
We built You a temple, but You wanted more
You longed for a people that could be called Yours
You have always been
You will always be
Emmanuel
And then in the silence, the Word became flesh
Our God dwelt among us, You gave us Your best
You offered communion, You gave up Your life
You rose up in victory and healed the divide
You have always been
You will always be
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
The day is soon coming, You will be revealed
Your dream of communion finally fulfilled
We'll see a new heaven, we'll walk a new earth
You will be ours, Lord, and we will be Yours
You have always been
You will always be
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
In this very moment, God, You are here
You're with and within us, You love to be near
FIlled with Your Spirit, a promise of love
A blessed assurance of what is to come
You have always been
You will always be
Emmanuel
