Emmanuel—God with us. Your Presence… simply present.
In the hush of morning light,
in the dark of every night,
You walk with me—
my steady, guiding Light.

I do not ask for signs or wonders
to know that I’m Yours
and You are mine.
I need no proof for eye or ear;
my spirit knows—
That You are near.

Nearer than my very breath,
nearer than all thought or word,
beyond the reach of explanation,
beyond the creeds that I’ve heard.

Emmanuel—God with us.This quiet, holy certainty:Your ever-present Presence is
where my soul lives free.

The walls of old religion fall;
as does every fence.
For all that truly matters now
—Your Presence…
glorious Presence.
