He Is Alive (The Road to Emmaus)
BibleWithLife

[Spoken Word Intro, soft wind, distant footsteps on stone]

We were walking away from a buried King.
We didn't know He was walking with us.
[Verse 1, male lead with male harmony, walking acoustic guitar, weary]

The sun was going down
On the road from Calvary
Then a Stranger came beside us
Asked us why we cried
We told Him about the cross
We told Him our King had died
[Pre-Chorus, low strings enter, slow build]

He opened up the Scriptures
From Moses to the Psalms
And our hearts began to warm
Though we still didn't know His name
[Chorus, full band enters, walking pace, anthemic but warm]

He broke the bread
And we finally saw
He broke the bread
We had walked with the Lord
Seven miles of sorrow
Seven miles of doubt
He was walking with us
All along, all along
[Verse 2, drums pick up slightly, hopeful]

We came up to the village
And we begged Him, "Please, stay"
He sat down at our table
On that resurrection day
He took the bread, He blessed it
He broke it in His hands


And the Stranger was the Saviour
We had thought was gone
[Half Chorus]

He broke the bread
And we finally saw
He was walking with us
All along
[Bridge, drop to acoustic guitar + heartbeat, intimate then building]

Did our hearts not burn?
Did our hearts not burn?
On the road with the Risen One
Did our hearts not burn?
[Build, drums accelerate, sense of rising urgency]

We ran back through the night
Seven miles in the dark
We had to tell them all
Jesus is alive
[Climax, full crash, gospel choir enters, drums driving]

HE IS ALIVE!
HE IS ALIVE!
THE STRANGER ON THE ROAD
WAS THE RISEN LORD!
HE WAS WALKING WITH US ALL ALONG!
[Final Chorus, maximum energy, key change up to major]

He broke the bread
And we finally saw
He broke the bread
We had walked with the Lord
He was walking with us
All along, all along
[Tag, choir + lead, soaring then softening]

He was walking with us
All along
He was walking with us all along


[Whispered]

Did not our hearts burn within us...
[Outro Spoken Word, soft strings, dawn-like pad]

We left the road that night
Running toward the dawn.
He broke the bread...
And we have never stopped looking
For His face at our table.
