He is Risen Indeed!
Blessed Good Friday to You, MEG!
Here is the song I wrote for Easter. It is in a Blues Style:
The Emmeus Road
(c2014 ML/LTOS)
I was walking downcast, carrying a heavy load,
I was walking downcast, carrying a heavy load,
leaving that cruel city, on the Emmeus Road.
Then a Lonely Traveler joined us on the way.
Then a Lonely Traveler joined us on the way.
He asked me ‘bout my sadness...Why I felt that way.
Where have you been hiding? How could you not have heard?
Where have you been hiding? How could you not have heard?
It’s all over the city! Didn’t you get the word?
They crucified My Savior! They hung Him on a tree.
They crucified My Savior! They hung Him on a tree.
And now, my heart is broken. No future do I see.
“Oh Foolish heart!” He told me, “The prophets, they all knew.”
“Oh Foolish heart!” He told me, “The prophets, they all knew.”
“Messiah had to suffer, and die, to redeem YOU!”
The day was spent and fading, we stopped to break our bread.
The day was spent and fading, we stopped to break our bread.
That’s when our eyes were opened! Christ is Risen from the dead!
Death, where is your victory?
Grave, where is your sting?
Christ is Risen from the dead,
Hallelujah we sing!
Death, where is your victory?
Grave, where is your sting?
Christ is Risen from the dead,
Hallelujah we sing!
(Now I just have to teach it to the band!)
This is lovely, ML
Hallelujah we sing!
Wonderful, LTOS.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
