Conversation with Emmanuel
I walked outside beneath the evening blue
And asked the silver moon
sailing in view
Are you lonely
floating up so high
Lost inside an empty sky? (ahhhh)
The moon looked down with a gentle grace
And softly laughed,
this is no empty place
More stars than any mind could ever dream
Yet I asked, where is love in this great scheme?
Love knows every name and star by heart
Love heals every hurt and broken part
Down to every microscopic cell
Love went to the wood where mercy fell
Love gives life to all that breathes (ohhh)
I asked the moon,
how can you know it's true?
He said, the skies and earth declare it too
Just like I
reflect the morning sun
You carry the breath
of the holy one
He is the bread,
the conqueror of grave
The faithful groom who came to seek and save
Emmanuel, the King above all kings
The source of life in everything
The moon went down,
the dawn began to rise I walked my days beneath those wider
skies And when at last
my journey reached its end
Love welcomed me with open arms,
a friend
