reflecting on these words this week...

the skies don't seem to be as dark as usual
the stars seem brighter than they've been before
and deep within i feel my soul is stirring
as though my hope has been restored

the shepherds say they've heard the voice of angels
confirming rumors spread across the land
that a child protected well from Herod's anger
is our Father's Son and the Son of Man

Love is raining down on the world tonight
there's a presence here, i can tell
God is in us
God is for us
God is with us, Emmanuel
He's the Savior we have been praying for
in our humble hearts He will dwell
God is in us
God is for us
God is with us, Emmanuel

i feel compelled to tell all who will listen
that peace on earth is not so out of reach
if we can find grace and mercy and forgiveness
He has come to save
He is all of these

Love is raining down on the world tonight
there's a presence here, i can tell
God is in us
God is for us
God is with us, Emmanuel
He's the Savior we have been praying for
in our humble hearts He will dwell
God is in us
God is for us
God is with us, Emmanuel

You're the Savior we have been praying for
in our humble hearts You will dwell
You are in us
You are for us
Your are with us
Emmanuel
