[Verse 1]
Hold on now, I gotta take a deep breath
I don't know what to say when I look in Your eyes
You made the world before I was born
But here I am holding You in my arms tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Noel, noel, Jesus, our Emmanuel

[Chorus]
You're here, I'm holding You so near
I'm staring into the face of my Saviour, King and Creator
You could've left us on our own, but You're here

[Verse 2]
I don't know how long I'm gonna have You for
But I'll be watching when You change the world
I look at Your hands, they're still so small
Someday You're going to stretch them out and save us all

[Pre-Chorus]
Noel, noel, God with us, Emmanuel

[Chorus 2]
You're here, I'm holding You so near
I'm staring into the face of my Saviour, King and Creator
You could've left us on our own, but You're here, You're here
[Bridge]
Someday I'm gonna look back on this
The night that God became a baby boy
Someday You're gonna go home again
But You leave Your spirit and flood the world with joy

[Chorus 3]
You'll be here, I'm holding You so near
I'm staring into the face of my Saviour, King and Creator
You could've left me on my own, but You're here, You're here
Hallelujah, You're here, hallelujah, You're here
