[Verse 1]
We went our way that day to a village called Emmaus
Three days since our Lord had died and Judas had betrayed us
Along the way, a stranger came and asked to travel with us
But we couldn't see He was the King He was
So we told Him of our sorrow and confusion
How we trusted we'd be led to a mansion in God's kingdom
How all our hopes had faded when they nailed Him to a cross
Still we couldn't see He was the King He was

[Chorus]
On the road to Emmaus
As He opened the scriptures to us
And our hearts burned within us
On the road to Emmaus

[Verse 2]
We heard a familiar voice as He quoted from the prophets
How the Son of God must give His life and rise again to save us
Then as we saw the nail prints in His hands, our eyes were opened
And we could see He was the King He was
Then He was gone, vanished from our sight
But the Spirit made it clear to us the Lord was by our side

[Chorus]
On the road to Emmaus
As He opened the scriptures to us
And our hearts burned within us
On the road to Emmaus
