Immanuel chords by Townend Stuart

Intro:
D  G  D  G  D

D                       G       A    D
From the squalor of a borrowed stable,
                     G        A
By the spirit and a virgin's faith;
D                       G        A
To the anguish and the shame of scandal
D                        G      A
Came the Saviour of the human race!
D         G         D                  E        B
But the skies were filled, with the praise of heav'n,
F#m         D
Shepherds listen as the angels tell
        G      D          A       B
Of the Gift of God, come down to man
G       D            A    D
At the dawning of Immanuel

Instrumental:
D  G   A

D                       G       A    D
King of heaven now the Friend of sinners,
                     G        A
Humble servant in the Father's hands,
D                       G        A
Filled with power and the Holy Spirit,
D                        G      A
Filled with mercy for the broken man
D         G         D                  E        B
Yes he walked my road, and He felt my pain,
F#m         D
Joys and sorrows that I know so well;
        G      D          A
Yet His righteous steps, give me hope again -
G       D            A    D
I will follow my Immanuel!

Instrumental:
D   G    A  D  G  A

D                       G       A    D
Through the kisses of a friend's betrayal,
                     G        A
He was lifted on a cruel cross;
D                       G        A
He was punished for a world's transgressions,
D                        G      A
He was suffering to save the lost
D         G         D                  E        B
He fights for breath, He fights for me
F#m         D
Loosing sinners from the claims of hell;
        G      D          A
And with a shout, our souls are free -
G       D            A    D
Death defeated by Immanuel!

Instrumental:
D G A D G A

D                       G       A    D
Now He's standing in the place of honour,
                     G        A
Crowned with glory on the highest throne,
D                       G        A
Interceding for His own beloved
D                       G        A
Till His Father calls us to bring them home!
D         G         D                  E        B
Then the skies will part, as the trumpet sounds
F#m         D
Hope of heaven or the fear of hell;
        G      D          A
But the Bride will run, to her Lover's arms,
G       D            A    D
Giving glory to Immanuel!
