We went our way that day
To a village called Emmaus
Three days since our Loard 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

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

We heard a familiar voice
As He quoted from the prophets
How th eSon 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
