We've heard it since we were children,
"Jesus loves you", is what we're told.
For most it doesn't seem to sink in
until we're lonely and cold.
"God's Grace is freely given", you say,
"Just let His Love come in".
But still we try it on our own
and fall in the pain of sin.
Acceptance is the hard part,
"How can something so good be free"?
If I can't put a "value" on it
What good will it be to me?
Then all at once it happens,
It may be a crisis in your life
Or just a kind word from a stranger
That allows Jesus to enter your life!
You may try to understand it,
To think how can this be,
Your life has a new direction
And your sins begin to flee.
God's Grace is there for all of us,
It calms our cares and strife.
Just open your heart and let Him in,
Let Christ direct your life!
I fled the cross down Emmaus Road,
to get away from danger.
And as I walked with heavy heart,
I came upon a stranger.
He asked me why I looked so sad,
my heart so full of fear.
He seemed to know just how I felt,
the moment he came near.
He'd spoke to us three days ago,
the last we'd supped with him.
Of his body like the broken bread,
given for our sin.
And as he passed the cup of wine,
he told of what it meant.
His own blood shed for us,
as a new covenant.
And as we walked he talked with me,
and I began to know.
The meaning of the prophets words,
written so long ago.
That God's own Son must come and die,
but he would rise agian.
And as I learned of God's great love,
my heart did burn within.
The hour was late we stopped to rest,
and as he broke the bread,
I knew this was my own sweet Lord,
He had risen from the dead.
My eyes were opened as he blessed our food,
and then he went away.
And though His body's not with us,
His love will always stay.
And now I run down Emmaus Road,
I laugh and dance and sing,
I shout the news of God's great gift,
Jesus Christ my Savior King.
I looked out from the mountain top
I climbed up in a tree.
I walked into an open church,
But where could my father be?
Then I walked to the edge of the water,
And saw the reflection from within,
When all the time behind me, I was followed-
IT WAS HIM!
Precious Saviour, please hear my prayer,
Precious Saviour, I know you're there.
Precious Saviour, I need to know,
Will you show me which way to go?
Precious Savior, Show me the way.
I know with Your Love, it will be O.K.
