My Walk to Emmaus
By
Scott R. Jones
One day I was asked to take a walk
Down the road to Emmaus as we talked
To learn about love and Grace she said
And only Christ knows what lies ahead
I went forth on faith and faith alone
As I set out to go I was not alone
Many brothers walked with me that day
And together we traveled along the way
Day one was here and I was dreaming
Only to awaken with no phone ringing
Separated from family and time left behind
I knew I was here for the duration of the time
Friendships were forming minute by minute
As the Spirit of God was definitely in it
Faces aglow among the crowd
Were pictures of love that glowed out loud
Day two was here and so was I
No leaving now, I just wanted to cry
Tears of love and joy would follow
For all of us who drowned in our sorrow
Prayers were said in silence and aloud
For God was there among the crowd
As we poured out our hearts to Him that day
His love was abundant in every way
Burdens were lifted and hearts rejoiced
As brother to brother we stood by each other
Now we knew why we were here
To grow in Christ and never fear
On day three our hearts rejoiced
Filled with God's spirit in our voice
We sang and laughed a lot that day
And cried some more along the way
Friends for life we had made
In Christ our love was made that day
Hating to leave but we all know
That into the world we must go
The forth days were coming and we all knew
That Christ will be counting, on you
To live by His Grace and understand
That to love each other is the way we must stand
Bound by His Love and saved by His Grace
This walk I took was a look in His face
I am thankful to Him for showing the way
To Emmaus we went with Him all the way
