lyrics

“The Longest Nights”

Verse 1
You shouldn’t be here tonight
It doesn’t seem quite right
Here where the cattle sleep
Here where they keep the sheep
Here in the mud and blood and hay
How could you end up in this place?

Verse 2
You shouldn’t be here tonight
It doesn’t seem quite right
Here where the shots ring out
Where everything’s burning now
Where there’re a hundred words for pain
How could you end up in this place?

Chorus:
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God with us
Love for us
Born into the longest nights
Emmanuel


Verse 3
You shouldn’t be here tonight
It doesn’t seem quite right
Here where the hurt is deep
Here where the wounded weep
Where there’s so much we cannot say
How can you show up in this place?
How can you show up in this place?

Chorus

Bridge
In this scarred and starry night
In our aching, crying nights
In this trembling, tender moment
before we start to see the light…
Dawn
