My Emmanuel (You Are With Me) Lyrics

By Amy Keffer Shellem & Joe Johnston

Verse 1

Lord, I'm always in your presence 

I cannot run from your love. 

You're behind me and before me, 

underneath and up above. 

The darkness and the light 

are both the same to You. 

I couldn't hide from Your spirit, 

even if I wanted to. 



Chorus

My Emmanuel, You are with me. 

Oh, Emmanuel, there's nowhere You won't be. 

If I take the wings of the morning 

or fall into the deepest sea, 

Even there, even there, 

You are with me. 



Verse 2

If I ascend up to heaven 

Or make my bed below. 

I know Your hand will hold me 

Wherever I may go. 

Before I was formed, 

You already knew my days. 

Lord, I have no secrets, 

You know every path I take. 



Bridge

How precious are Your thoughts 

Oh, God, they're always of me. 

More in number than the sand,
