It's hard to understand this life we're living
More down than up, more lost than found these days
But everybody's searching for the reasons
But the pain, the shame, that just won't go away

If there's a miracle in your plan
It's that we know we are in your hands
Even when we don't understand

Be with us now
Be with us now
If you're strong enough to make us whole
Surely you could let us know
That you're with us now
Be with us now
If love can conquer every fear
Please wash away these tears
Be with us now

To help us to be faithful while we are waiting
When time goes by and nothing seems to change
'Cause lord, we need your hope, we need your healing
When we're falling apart with a broken hearts
We need you to show us the way

Be with us now
Be with us now
If you're strong enough to make us whole
Surely you could let us know
That you're with us now
Be with us now
If love can conquer every fear
Please wash away these tears

Emmanuel, God with us
Be with us now
Emmanuel, God with us
Be with us now

Be with me now, be with me now
If you're strong enough to make me whole
Surely you could let me know

Be with us now
Be with us now
If you're strong enough to make us whole
Surely you could let us know
That you're with us now
Be with us now
If love can conquer every fear
Please wash away these tears
Be with us now
Emmanuel
Be with us now
