Emmanuel ~ God With Us (a poem)

I was listening to an audio book this morning in the wee hours before sunrise when this came to me.

God is with us in the rain and on the sunny days
He is with us in the joy and in times of pain
He is with us when we're sure and with us when we doubt
He is with us when we're like minded, when we argue and when we pout
God is with us when we see Him and He is with us when we don't
He is with us when we acknowledge Him and even when we won't
God is with us when we honor Him or stop to bring Him praise
He is with us when we follow Him or go off other ways
God is with us in the morning, afternoon and through the night
He is with us always; with His love, His grace, His might
His life was predicted, yet He came with no fuss
The lamb who died to save our sins: Emmanuel ~ God with us
