Immanuel – Storytellers

Today’s storytellers is the song “Immanuel.”

I wrote this song back in 2006 and recorded it in house, but rerecorded it on my “Coming Home” solo project released earlier this year. Ā The song fit too well with the “Overcome” theme not to include it. Ā So we remixed it and took away my background vocals and let Jodie Shirley add her great voice to the track.

The song was simple in concept. Ā I could think of many times when I had been far from God, but never a moment when he had been far from me. Ā I wrote the verses and bridge focusing on how we do certain things to create space from God. Ā The chorus focuses on that regardless of what we do, God’s promise in Jesus was that he was Immanuel – God with us.

Hope you like the snippet. Ā You can get your copy here.
