O Come Emmanuel

[Chorus]:
O come, O come, Emmanuel
To ransom captive Israel
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
To ransom captive Israel

[Verse 1]:
In the rubble of darkness
We were covered in shame
Out here living godless
Didn’t care for His name
Every deed of our hands and thought of our hearts was covered in evil
We did what we wanted and we would give glory to idols and people
What will we do to assuage this pain?
Who will we go to to pay this wage?
We’re fallen, on our way to hell
We’re calling, Lord, please send us help!

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]:
O come, Emmanuel
Where you came and you paid for the sin and the wickedness
We deserve eternal wrath but you paid for that
Rose from the grave and you live in us
When we think about the ransom we couldn’t pay
You put on ??? and put it [?]off[?] for forgiving us
Never giving up
But you took the cup and you stood for us
[?]Lamb[?] giving up life so we give you trust
The love that you show is relentless
Not reckless, you gave with intention
You promised before you created us that you would give up yourself for redemption
You stepped out of heaven and came to earth
That’s why each year we celebrate your birth

[Chorus] [2x]

[Outro]:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
To ransom captive Israel
