You're always with me here
You said You'd never leave
Emmanuel
God with us
No matter where I go
I can't escape Your love
Emmanuel
God with us
In the valley You are there
You're reminding me again
Wherever I go
I know You're always with me
Lost in Your love
Surrounded by goodness and mercy
You never leave
Never leave
I believe
Jesus, You're always with me
No matter where I go
I can't escape Your love
Emmanuel
God with us
In the valley You are there
You're reminding me again
And on the mountain You are there
You are with me anywhere
Wherever I go
I know You're always with me
Lost in Your love
Surrounded by goodness and mercy
You never leave
Never leave
I believe
Jesus You're always with me
I worship You here
I worship You here
I'm drawing near
I'm drawing near
I worship You here
I worship You here
I'm drawing near
I'm drawing near
Wherever I go
I know You're always with me
Lost in Your love
Surrounded by goodness and mercy
You never leave
Never leave
I believe
Jesus, You're always with me
Wherever I go
I know You're always with me
Lost in Your love
Surrounded by goodness and mercy
You never leave
Never leave
I believe
Jesus You're always with me
I worship You here
I worship You here
I'm drawing near
I'm drawing near
I worship You here
I worship You here
I'm drawing near
I'm drawing near
"Emmanuel" by PlanetShakers is a powerful worship song that reminds us of God's constant presence in our lives. The song starts off with the declaration that God is always with us, just as He promised. The word "Emmanuel" itself means "God with us," and this song beautifully captures the essence of that truth.
One of the most inspiring aspects of this song is the reminder that no matter where we go, we cannot escape God's love. In the lyrics, it says, "No matter where I go, I can't escape Your love, Emmanuel, God with us." This echoes the words of King David in Psalm 139:7-10, where he realizes that there is nowhere he can go that is beyond God's presence. The song beautifully reinforces this truth, bringing comfort and assurance to the listener.
The song also speaks about encountering God's presence in both the valley and on the mountain. It says, "In the valley You are there, You're reminding me again, And on the mountain You are there, You are with me anywhere." This reminds me of Psalm 23, where David recognizes that even in the darkest and most difficult times of life, God is with him, guiding and comforting him. It is a powerful reminder that God's presence is not limited to specific situations or circumstances but is with us in every season of life.
The chorus of the song declares, "Wherever I go, I know You're always with me, Lost in Your love, Surrounded by goodness and mercy, You never leave, Never leave, I believe, Jesus, You're always with me." These lyrics are a profound expression of faith and trust in God's constant presence. It brings to mind the promise in Hebrews 13:5, where God assures us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. This truth is a source of hope and strength, especially in times of uncertainty or fear.
The bridge of the song declares, "I worship You here, I'm drawing near." These words encapsulate the heart behind the song – a desire to draw near to God and worship Him in every situation. It reminds me of James 4:8, where we are encouraged to draw near to God, and He will draw near to us. This song serves as a reminder to prioritize our relationship with God and seek His presence in our lives.
Overall, "Emmanuel" by PlanetShakers is a beautiful and uplifting worship song that reminds us of God's constant presence in our lives. It encourages us to trust in His love and faithfulness, no matter where we find ourselves. The lyrics are filled with biblical truths and references, reinforcing the message that God is always with us. This song is a powerful reminder to draw near to God, worship Him, and find comfort and strength in His presence.
