Knee Deep in the Hooah!

I think that this song should be the exclamation point to the Christmas Holiday season. This song is one I play all year ’round, so I almost forgot to use it as a Christmas song.

As a matter of fact, I had the CD with this song back in 2001 (it was originally released I believe in ’94 or thereabout). I had it with me on my trip to DC on September 11. It brought me so much comfort to hear and sing the words, “Our God is with us, and if God is with us who can stand against us? Our God is with us Immanuel!”

This particular take of the song has Michael Card playing the piano and singing the chorus, but Steve Green sings the verses. Very nicely done, indeed!

Immanuel

A sign shall be given
A virgin will conceive
A human baby bearing
Undiminished deity

The glory of the nations
A light for all to see
Hope for all who will embrace
His warm reality

Chorus:
Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

For all those who live in the shadow of death
A glorious light has dawned
For all those who stumble in the darkness
Behold your light has come

Chorus

So what will be your answer?
Will you hear the call?
Of Him who did not spare His son
But gave him for us all
On earth there is no power
There is no depth or height
That could ever separate us
From the love of God in Christ

Chorus
