Luke 24:13-25 On the road to Emmaus

I don’t know if it’s true

I have my doubts like everyone else

I’m a pilgrim

a stranger

searching for that

for which my soul yearns

and when I hear the Word

and sing the songs

something happens within me

and I begin to feel at peace

there are times the words seem written

for me

and when I hear them

my heart burns with a peace

and love

               and discomfort

I can’t explain

but it is in the coming forward

and taking that piece of bread

               that cup of wine

and hearing the words

               This is my body

               This is my blood

               Given for you for forgiveness

               For life

that my heart leaps

and I know Christ
