Our God Is With Us
Our God is with us in His grand creation,
Through which He speaks to rebels lost in sin.
With Adam’s fall, we lost God’s blest relation,
‘Til Christ should come His ransomed ones to win!
The promised One would seek His wayward nation
And in time’s fullness His reign would begin!
Our God is with us by the Word He’s spoken,
His prophets’ voices echoing through time.
Messiah, shown in symbol, type and token,
Fulfilled each one with grace and truth divine!
The Word made flesh was mocked and pierced and broken,
His blood poured out to cleanse this soul of mine!
Our God is with us by a Virgin bearing
The Lord of glory, God, yet fully man!
Veiled in a body low, our weakness daring,
He lived the sinless life none other can!
Now ris’n He lives on high, still dearly caring
For those He saved through God’s eternal plan.
Our God is with us ever by His Spirit,
His grace to give believers in our need.
When we are burdened, He will help us bear it,
As His sweet promises we gladly read!
“I’m with you always, to the end”: we hear it!
Immanuel is “God with us” indeed!
God will be with us as we stand before Him,
To answer for our lives at heaven’s throne.
While hell awaits all those who still abhor Him,
His faithful sheep will there be welcomed home!
Sharing His glory, ever we’ll adore Him--
Immanuel will claim us as His own!
