Rev. Reed Lee Pedersen's
This Sunday upcoming Sunday commonly uses text from the "Road to Emmaus" in the gospel of Luke 24:13-35. As I have been thinking of this text I came up with a song using this text and the next verse (36). So last week was a highlight instead of an insight. This week I am gambling on posting a song instead of a rambling. Please note that my piano skills are very limited and I recorded it from my phone. I hope you still enjoy it. Here are the lyrics:
Verse 1 Two men went on their way out of Jerusalem that day. Head hung low for they didn't know, Christ was alive and he came to them as a man, and as they broke bread together they could finally understand. Refrain We walk this road, and God is there. We walk this road. Christ's love and presence to share. We walk this road like the men to Emmaus. We walk this road together with God, Because God is the greatest! Verse 2 Their hearts were on fire, their mood no longer dire. They went back to the place of Christ's death and disgrace Their companions shouted with glee! They had seen the Lord too! Then Jesus appeared among them and said, "Peace be with you." (Refrain) Verse 3 In life when you fell alone or far away from home, If you feel no one is there please be aware, The risen Christ si with you to the end of days. By his death and by his new life he will be here always! (Refrain) Points to Ponder:
