The Road to Emmaus

Who is that walking on the road?
Who helped us with our heavy load.
He showed us all God's wondrous ways,
And taught us all The Scripture says.

We were so broken by His loss,
Cruelly dying on that cross.
Hope seemed to vanish into air,
Beyond our last most desperate prayer.

But the stranger seemed to know our hearts,
Where faith ends and where it starts.
Serene He was, no trace of fear,
Our sorrow seemed to disappear.

He came with us to share our bread,
It was Jesus risen from the dead.
Our hearts were bathed in glorious joy,
That the darkness never would destroy.
