Dena Mwana - Emmanuel Lyrics
Lyrics
[El Georges]
Il n'y a pas de plus grand amour
Que de donner sa vie
Pour ses amis tu l'as dit
Tu l'as aussi fait le jour
De ta crucifixion
Pour que l'accès dans tes parvis
Ne me soit plus conditionné
Par ta grâce j'ai pu être positionné
Étant fusionné comme le sep au sermon
Je suis dans L'œuvre sans vouloir démissionner
Nul ne peut me séparer de l'amour de Jésus
Nul ne peut se comparer à celui qui m'a choisi
Jésus s'est emparé de moi, je suis à lui
Sa grâce a réparé ce que le mal a détruit
Quand j'étais égaré
Je l'ai vu accourir
Afin de me secourir
Pour qu'on puisse parcourir
La route qu'il m'a tracé Jésus m'a fait sourire
Quand j'étais oppressé, j’ai trouvé un ami
A qui j'ai tout remis
Ses bontés se renouvellent comme le dis Jérémie
Chaque matin dans ma vie
Il est la source infinie d'amour et de grâce
Le Dieu qui m'a béni
[Dena Mwana]
Y a t-il ici-bas un peu d'amour?
Je ressens ce manque peser si lourd
Je ne peux plus porter ce fardeau qui me voûte
Père je t'appelle au secours
Je t'avais donné, Jésus mon cœur
Puis j'ai cherché le bonheur ailleurs
Je ne trouve ici-bas
Aucune paix aucune joie
Il n’y a d'amour qu'en toi
Tu es Emmanuel, Emmanuel mon ami
Emmanuel mon ami
Ton amour me suffit
Tu me suffis mon ami
Tu me suffis, mon ami
Je t'avais donné, Jésus mon cœur
Puis j'ai cherché le bonheur ailleurs
Je ne trouve ici-bas aucune paix, aucune joie
Il n’y a d'amour qu'en toi
Tu es Emmanuel, Emmanuel mon ami
Emmanuel mon ami
Ton amour me suffit, tu me suffis mon ami
Tu me suffis mon ami
J'ai trouvé un ami
Une source infinie
Jésus est mon ami
Il m'aime pour la vie
Tu es Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Mon ami Emmanuel mon ami
Ton amour me suffit
Tu me suffis mon ami
Tu me suffis mon ami
Tu es Emmanuel, Emmanuel mon ami
Emmanuel mon ami
Ton amour me suffit
Tu me suffis mon ami
Tu me suffis mon ami
Mon ami eh... mon ami, mon ami
Mon ami eh.... mon ami, mon ami
Mon ami eh.... mon ami, mon ami
(Mon ami... Mon ami...)
Jésus... Jésus, mon ami fidèle. Mon Am
(Mon ami... Mon ami...)
Mon ami il s'appelle Jésus, le fidèle des fidèle.
(Mon ami... Mon ami...)

Meaning & Inspiration
Dena Mwana's "Emmanuel," featuring El Georges, released in late 2016, is a profound declaration of unwavering divine love and companionship. The song directly addresses the listener's potential feelings of isolation and the pervasive human longing for a love that transcends earthly limitations. The lyrical narrative, primarily from Dena Mwana's perspective, paints a picture of someone who has sought fulfillment and peace in worldly pursuits, only to find them hollow and insufficient. This search for happiness elsewhere is a familiar human struggle, echoing the wisdom found in Ecclesiastes 2:11, which speaks of the vanity of chasing after wind. The turning point arrives when the singer realizes that true solace and an inexhaustible wellspring of love are found not in fleeting experiences, but in God. The repetition of "Emmanuel, Emmanuel mon ami" serves as a powerful reminder of the song's central theme, drawing directly from the biblical appellation for Jesus, meaning "God with us" (Matthew 1:23). This name signifies His intimate presence, a constant companion through every season of life. The lyrics beautifully articulate this divine friendship, emphasizing that this relationship provides all that is needed, as the lines "Ton amour me suffit, tu me suffis mon ami" powerfully convey. This resonates with the Apostle Paul's declaration in Philippians 4:13, where he states he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him, suggesting that divine sufficiency empowers believers to face any circumstance. El Georges' contribution provides a foundational understanding of the ultimate sacrifice that makes this divine connection possible. He speaks of the greatest love being one that lays down its life for friends, directly referencing Jesus' ultimate act of love on the cross. This sacrifice, as described in the lyrics, removed the barriers to God's presence, allowing access to His courts not through merit but through His grace. This echoes Ephesians 2:8-9, which states, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." The fusion with God's work, described metaphorically, signifies a deep, transformative union with His purpose, a commitment to His ongoing work without wavering, akin to the steadfastness Jesus calls for in John 15:4-5. The assurance that nothing can separate believers from God's love is a direct echo of Romans 8:38-39, which unequivocally states that neither death nor life, nor anything else in all creation, can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. The song beautifully illustrates the moment of rescue when one is lost, with Jesus depicted as running to the aid of the lost sheep, a poignant image from Luke 15:4-7. This rescue leads to a life aligned with His intended path, bringing joy and peace where oppression once reigned. The revelation of Jesus as an unfailing friend, whose mercies are new every morning as declared in Lamentations 3:22-23, provides a daily assurance of His faithfulness. "Emmanuel" is more than just a song; it's an invitation to experience the profound and life-altering reality of having God as an ever-present, all-sufficient friend.
