Road to Emmaus

Lyrics by Dennis L. Harrison

Early before the walk to Emmaus,
     Mary went to visit Jesus’ tomb.
When she arrived, she saw that He was missing;
     Then she beheld Him in all of His glory and power.

Running to town, she told the disciples
     That she had seen Jesus, and He was alive.
And two men asked her, “Why seek the living among the dead?”
     The disciples didn’t believe a single word that shed said.

Don’t you know that…
     On the road to Emmaus, they cried many tears.
They had their doubts and so many fears;
     They didn’t realize Jesus was walkin’ with them.

You see, the One that they loved had been crucified,
     And it had been three days since He had died.
They finally saw it was Jesus,
     And He was alive…alive.

As they walked along, the stranger did tell them
     Everything from beginning to the end.
Arriving late to town all tired and hungry,
     While breaking bread, He revealed Himself unto them.

But don’t you know that…
     On the road to Emmaus, they cried many tears.
They had their doubts and so many fears;
     They didn’t realize Jesus was walkin’ with them.

You see, the One that they loved had been crucified,
     And it had been three days since He had died.
They finally saw it was Jesus,
     And He was alive… alive.

But don’t you know that…
     On the road to Emmaus, they cried many tears.
They had their doubts and so many fears;
     They didn’t realize Jesus was walkin’ with them.

You see, the One that they loved had been crucified,
     And it had been three days since He had died.
They finally saw it was Jesus,
     And He was alive…alive.
