Immanuel

Mary, have no fear

Although the end is near

For death is just a stepping stone

And you will not be left alone

Immanuel

Will come for you

When you cannot go on

When all is lost

And all is gone

When everything

Has all gone wrong

Your God will be with you

Remember when you met

The sweetness of his breath

The beauty of his eyes

You gently sang to sleep

And softly stopped to weep

This prince of peace

You brought into

A world obsessed with sin

Where might is right

And right is wrong

And everything

Has all gone wrong

What would they do with him?

The years have passed

Your eyes are dim

With sorrow's lines

Etched in your skin

You watched him die

And rise again

And now they're fighting

Over him

And may be for

A thousand years

But Mary, you

Need never fear

For death is just a door

To life with him forevermore

Immanuel

Will come for you

When you cannot go on

When all is lost

And all is gone

When everything

Has all gone wrong

Your God will be with you

So Mary, do not weep

For death is just a sleep

And you will wake to live again

Alive in paradise with him
