Verse:
CAm
At the end of this run down tenement hall
CGC
Is the room of a girl I know
AmCDmC
She cowers behind all the dead bolt locks
GC
Afraid of the outside world
FEm
So how should I come to the one I love?
DmGCCDmAmFC
I will find a way
Verse:
CFC
Many thieves and collectors have used that door
CGAm
But they only brought her shame
CAm
So she won't even open it anymore
FGC
Still I will find a way
Verse:
CFC
I could call out her name with love through the walls
FGAm
Condemnation is all she hears
CFC
I could break down the door and take her into my arms
FGAm
But she might die from the fear
Chorus:
AmFC
So how should I come to the one I love?
DmCG
I will find a way, I will find a way
FC
How should I come to the one I love?
FGCCFC
I will find a way
Break:
C
No hiding place ever kept her safe
DmCG
So she hides inside herself
C
Now to reach her heart the only way
DmCG
Is to hide in there as well
DmCFDmAmFCAm
I will hide in there as well
Verse:
AmGCDmC
She gave up on love waiting for a change
FGC
But a change is coming soon
DmCFC
How could she not love the helpless babe
FGC
Who is waking in her womb?
FCDmG
I found a way, I found a way
Outro:
FC
She'll know I am coming before I am here
DmCG
When she hangs her head she'll see me there
FC
And then when I come she won't run away
DmCG
All the beauty and joy will return to her face
FC
And what of the loneliness? Now it is gone
DmCG
Lost in the bond of a mother and son
FC
Every sin that she suffered at the hands of men
DmCG
Every single disgrace will be washed clean again
FG
I will love her completely and when I am grown
AmC
I will carry her out of that tenement room
FC
I'm doing a new thing, soon you will see
DmAmG
I'm coming among you, my name shall be
CFAmG
Emmanuel,
CCGCAmC
Emmanuel, Emman-u-el
