Verse 1
Looking down upon this One
Seems so easy to embrace
That this is just a new born one
Just like any other babe
And looking down upon this one
Crying helplessly He lays
In the stillness now He sleeps
Just like any other babe
Pre-Chorus
You’re lying there, so helpless
You’re lying there, dependent
You’re lying there
You’re unable to stand on Your own
You’re unable to do anything at all
Verse 2
Looking down upon this one
His hands that grasp not hold a thing
Yet all the while His mouth does speak
He’s upholding everything
And looking down upon this one
His eyes resting so tenderly
Yet all the while His eyes you see
Full of fire and jealousy
Pre-Chorus
You’re lying there, so helpless
You’re lying there, dependent
You’re lying there
You’re unable to stand on Your own
You’re unable to do anything at all
Chorus
You are Lord (You are Emmanuel)
God made flesh (Christ the King)
King of glory coming
Crowned in lowliness (Who is like You, Lord?)
Christ is born (You are Emmanuel)
Come to earth (Christ the King)
God from everlasting
Was born a virgin birth
Bridge
Can you hear Him crying
Tears streaming down?
Can you hear Him crying
Hope within Him found?
Can you hear Him crying
This One who’s before time?
Can you hear Him crying
Yahweh, fully divine?
Can you see Him sleep
As shepherds watch amazed?
Can you see Him sleep
As heaven stands to gaze?
Can you see Him sleep
This One who formed the world?
Can you see Him sleep
As He cannot speak a word?
Can you hear the sound
Of angels who rejoice?
Can you hear the sound
Of the Father’s mighty voice?
Can you hear the sound
“This is my beloved Son”?
Can you hear the sound?
He is the Chosen One
Chorus
You are Lord (You are Emmanuel)
God made flesh (Christ the King)
King of glory coming
Crowned in lowliness (Who is like You, Lord?)
Christ is born (You are Emmanuel)
Come to earth (Christ the King)
God from everlasting
Born a virgin birth
He was born a virgin birth
