Emmanuel

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Almighty, all powerful, holy and true!
And yet you’re so gentle and kind to us too.

Is it any wonder we praise you and sing?
You’re awesome, magnificent, Savior and King!

Your mercy abounds and your grace overwhelms us.
We’ll read from the bible and do what it tells us!

When we are apart then I’m such a poor Jew.
But when we’re together I’m holy and true.

The price that you paid when you bought me again,
Relieved all my fears and removed all my sin!
