The Road

The Road

 

 

Before we met the crowds

After we left the crowds

There was the road

Eight days ago we came off the road

Oh the crowds

Three days gone

Now back on the road

Without him

 

The road was long

Only three years

We laughed, we learned

We understood

We misunderstood

Often

That road led to Jerusalem

This road is to Emmaus

 

The road we walk

It is strangely different

No laughter, no teacher

Left alone to make sense

No prophet or redemption for Israel

Women could not find the body

Are you the only visitor who does not know?

 

The Christ must suffer

All theses things!

Our hearts are burning now!

Blessed the bread

Take and eat

Our eyes are open

Never alone on the road!

Quickly to the road!

 

 

Based on Luke 24:13-35

 

 

Hallelujah, He is risen
