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
