Who are we that You would be mindful of us what do You see that's worth looking our way.
We are free in ways that we never should be;
sweet release from the grip of these chains.

Like hinges straining from the weight, my heart no longer can keep from singing.

[chorus]

All that is within me cries for You alone be glorified, Emmanuel God with us.
My heart sings a brand new song,
the debt is paid these chains are gone,

Emmanuel God with us.

Lord You know our hearts don't deserve Your glory still You show a love we cannot afford.

Like hinges straining from the weight, my heart no longer can keep from singing. [back to chorus]

Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary nevertheless we lay it at your feet. [back to chorus]
