about

A reflection on the road to Emmaus, recorded on cassette 4 track sometime in 1999 or 2000.

lyrics

This road’s never seemed so alone. This road’s never seemed so alone.
We walked along and hung our heads, can’t believe he’s really dead
This road’s never seemed so all alone.



Stranger do you mean you haven’t heard? Stranger do you mean you haven’t heard?
Three days ago they killed him dead, we hoped that we’d be saved instead
Stranger do you mean you haven’t heard?



The stranger said “why can’t you understand?” The stranger said “why can’t you understand?
Don’t you know that suffering was necessary for this king?”
The stranger said “why can’t you understand?”



We begged him stay and share a meal with us. We begged him stay and share a meal with us.
But when he blessed and broke the bread, before his name could once be said
He disappeared, but we knew it was Jesus



He rose from the grave, oh he rose. He rose from the grave, oh yes he rose
He came to us in our despair, nourishment and love to share
He rose from the grave, oh he rose.
