He walked where I walked (He walked where I walked)
He stood where I stand (He stood where I stand)
He felt what I feel (He felt what I feel)
He understands (He understands)
He knows my frailty (He knows my frailty)
Shared my humanity (Shared my humanity)
Tempted in every way (Tempted in every way)
Yet without sin (Yet without sin)
Chorus:
God with us
So close to us
God with us, Emmanuel!
Verse 2: (call and response)
One of a hated race (One of a hated race)
Stung by the prejudice (Stung by the prejudice)
Suffering injustice (Suffering injustice)
Yet he forgives (Yet he forgives)
Wept for my wasted years (Wept for my wasted years)
Paid for my wickedness (Paid for my wickedness)
He died in my place (He died in my place)
That I might live (That I might live)
