“God With Us”

(Inspired by Matthew 1:23)

1

A child is born,
not in a palace, not in wealth,
but in the quiet of night,
beneath a sky filled with wonder.

2

He is more than a child,
more than a name,
more than a promise—
He is God with us.

3

Not distant, not hidden,
not watching from afar,
but stepping into dust and hunger,
walking where we walk.

4

He knows the weight of sorrow,
the sting of rejection,
the frailty of flesh,
yet He remains divine.

5

Hands that formed the world
reach for a mother’s embrace,
eyes that saw the beginning
blink against the dawn.

6

He is not just for kings,
not just for the righteous,
but for the broken, the weary,
for those who thought they were forgotten.

7

The name spoken by angels,
whispered by shepherds,
feared by rulers,
now rests in the hearts of men.

8

God is no longer a shadow,
no longer a distant voice,
but here, present,
walking among us.

9

Emmanuel—
the name that changes everything,
the truth that breaks the silence,
the love that will not leave.

10

He came,
He stayed,
He saves,
and He is with us still.

“Through the Waters, Through the Fire”

(Inspired by Isaiah 43:2)

1

The waters rise,
the waves press in,
the current pulls hard,
but you are not alone.

2

The river swells,
the path disappears beneath the flood,
the way forward is uncertain,
but I am with you.

3

The flames leap high,
heat presses against your skin,
the fire surrounds you,
but you will not be consumed.

4

You were never promised ease,
never given a life without storms,
but you were given a name,
and I have called you My own.

5

The deep will not take you,
the fire will not destroy you,
the trial will not break you,
for I am the Lord your God.

6

I parted the seas before you,
I walked in the fire beside you,
I stood in the valley behind you,
and I will not leave you now.

7

When you tremble, I am your strength,
when you doubt, I am your certainty,
when you fear, I am your shield,
when you fall, I am your rescue.

8

Your path is not unknown to Me,
your suffering is not unseen,
I hold every moment,
I stand in every storm.

9

So walk forward,
step into the waters,
stand in the fire,
knowing I am near.

For I have called you,
I have chosen you,
I have redeemed you,
and you are Mine.

but the command remains—
Be strong, be courageous.

2

Fear rises like a shadow,
doubt whispers in the silence,
but My voice is louder—
I am with you.

3

You do not walk alone,
your strength is not your own,
your steps are held firm
by the One who called you.

4

The rivers will not sweep you away,
the walls before you will fall,
the battle may rage,
but victory is already written.

5

Do not turn back,
do not hesitate at the edge,
for I have gone before you,
and I stand behind you.

6

This land is yours to take,
not by your power,
not by your wisdom,
but by My hand.

7

The giants in the land will tremble,
the strongholds will crumble,
for I do not send without promise,
I do not command without provision.

8

Keep My words close,
let them guide your steps,
let them strengthen your heart,
for My truth never fails.

9

Wherever you go,
from the valley to the mountain,
from the battle to the stillness,
I am with you.
