They walked along the road

They walked along the road:

Two disciples

all alone

Their Master dead and gone.

A man to them drew near

Spoke to them and calmed their fears

They told Him everything.

(He said:)

Why don’t you believe?

For it was necessary

For the Christ to suffer all these things

And enter His glory.

Why don’t you believe?

Why don’t you believe?

They came to journey’s end;

He came in to eat with them

He blessed and broke the bread.

Then opened were their eyes;

Jesus Christ they recognized.

He disappeared from them.

(They said:)

Did not our hearts burn

As He spoke those words?

While we walked with Him

The Scriptures were opened.

Did not our hearts burn?

Did not our hearts burn?

We walk along our road

He reminds us we were told

“I’m with you every day.”

No matter how we feel

He’s the Spirit

He is real

Indwelling you and me.

(We say:)

Do not our hearts burn

When we hear His word?

Jesus Christ

within

In resurrection lives!

Do not our hearts burn?

Do not our hearts burn?
