100 days – Day 12 ii (3rd of Easter)

 

 

100 days – Day 12 ii (Third of Easter)

Today, I’m conducting Morning Worship at the Sunday service at Dumfries NorthWest Church.  The Scripture reading is the Gospel for this Second Sunday after Easter (Easter 3): “The Walk to Emmaus”

We’ll be singing a new hymn to close our worship, “I walk the dark Emmaus Road” to the tune “Stracathro”.  I rather like the words which, I hope,  speak to many people, including yourself:

 

I walk the dark Emmaus road
With God so far away.
Despair has left me broken here
Too weak and blind to pray.

One comes to me I cannot see
And helps me understand.
Through passing sorrows now I know
A wise and loving hand.

When pain or loss consume my joy,
I cry for quick relief,
But God would treat a deeper need:
My fear and unbelief.

You know my need, You know my path
With all that lies ahead.
Stay near, my Lord, my God, my Host,
And break my daily bread.
