Immanuel's Land
Audrey Assad's 'Immanuel's Land' is a contemplative worship song that reflects on the believer's journey toward heaven. The lyrics use imagery of Christ as a fountain of love and mercy, and speak of being united with Him as a bride to her bridegroom. The song emphasizes resting in Christ's merit rather than one's own works, and looking to His grace and sacrifice rather than earthly glory. It carries a tone of joyful anticipation and deep spiritual intimacy, pointing to the hope of eternal life in God's presence.
O Christ He is a fountain, a deep sweet well of love
The streams that I have tasted, more deep I'll drink above
And fuller than the ocean, His mercy does expand
Glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
Oh, glory, glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
Oh, I am my Beloved's, and my Beloved's mine
He brings this weary sinner into His house of wine
I stand upon His merit, I know no other stand
Glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
Oh, glory, glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
A bride eyes not her garment but her dear bridegroom's face
I will not gaze at glory but on my King of grace
Not at the crown He gives me but on His pierced hand!
Glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
Oh, glory, glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
Glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
Oh, glory, glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
Oh, glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
Oh, glory, glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
Oh, glory, glory, in Immanuel's land
Oh, glory, glory, glory, in Immanuel's land!
