Emmaus wasn’t a great town
as far as I’m aware
but somewhere along that road
something happened there.
Two walked that road all alone
as sad as they could be
when a stranger walked with them
but their blind eyes couldn’t see.
It seemed to them he must be dumb
and very out of touch
with their recent tragedy
which caused them to hurt so much.
He shared with them a simple meal
and when he broke the bread
they felt their hearts strangely warmed
understanding what he’d said.
Any road can be Emmaus
when we become aware of God
and follow all the pathways
where Jesus has already trod.
