I
TWO DISCIPLES AND A STRANGER
WALKED ALONG THAT EASTER DAY.
JESUS AS THE GREAT ARRANGER
HAD SOMETHING HE HAD TO SAY.

THEY WERE LIKE ALL HIS DISCIPLES
FILLED WITH SORROW AND WITH DREAD.
NO MORE MYSTERY IN CYCLES
THEIR MESSIAH NOW WAS DEAD.

II
HOPES WERE DASHED AND HEARTS WERE DARKENED
THE CROSS BLOTTED OUT ALL LIGHT.
BUT GOD TO THEIR HUNGER HARKENED
AND RESCUED THEM FROM THEIR PLIGHT.

JESUS WALKED ALONG BESIDE THEM
THOUGH THEY RECOGNIZED HIM NOT.
FROM HIS MOUTH FLOWED MANY A GEM
THAT HELPED THEM TO SEE GOD'S PLOT.

III
WHEN HE SAT WITH THEM AT TABLE
GIVING GOD THANKS FOR THE BREAD.
THEN THEIR OPENED EYES WERE ABLE
TO SEE CHRIST THEIR LIVING HEAD.

JESUS DISAPPEARED FROM THEIR SIGHT
BUT THEY KNEW HE WAS ALIVE.
THEY NEVER WOULD FORGET THAT NIGHT
FOR IT DID ALL JOY REVIVE.

IV
ON THAT LONG ROAD TO EMMAUS
JESUS TAUGHT AS NE'ER BEFORE
LISTEN CHRISTIAN IT WOULD PAY US
IF WE'D WALK THAT ROAD ONCE MORE.

WALKING RIGHT ALONG BESIDE US
AS WE TRAVEL DOWN LIFE'S ROAD.
IS OUR RISEN SAVIOUR JESUS
INVITE HIM TO YOUR ABODE.

V
DO NOT BE SLOW TO BELIEVE HIM
LET YOUR HEART BURN FROM WITHIN.
OPEN YOUR HEART TO RECEIVE HIM
LET YOUR LIVING SAVIOUR IN.
REPEAT
