I Will Find a Way (The Song of Emmanuel) - Jason Gray

At the end of this run down tenement hall

Is the room of a girl I know

She cowers behind all the dead bolt locks

Afraid of the outside world

So how should I come to the one I love?

I will find a way

Many thieves and collectors have used that door

But they only brought her shame

So she won’t even open it anymore

Still I will find a way

I could call out her name with love through the walls

But condemnation is all she hears

I could break down the door and take her into my arms

But she might die from the fear

So how should I come to the one I love?

I will find a way, I will find a way

How should I come to the one I love?

I will find a way

No hiding place ever kept her safe

So she hides inside herself

Now to reach her heart the only way

Is to hide in there as well

I will hide in there as well

She gave up on love waiting for a change

But a change is coming soon

How could she not love the helpless babe

Who is waking in her womb?

I found way, I found a wayÂ

She’ll know I am coming before I am here

When she hangs her head she’ll see me there

And then when I come she won’t run away

All the beauty and joy will return to her face

And what of the loneliness?

Now it is gone

Lost in the bond of a mother and son

Every sin that she suffered at the hands of men

Every single disgrace will be washed clean again

I will love her completely and when I am grown

I will carry her out of that tenement room

I am doing a new thing and soon you will see

I am coming among you and my name shall be

Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel
