Road to Emmaus

Along Emmaus' dusty way
Were I to meet the Prince of Light
Would Him I know or only a stranger sight?
Do I know Him in the broken bread
Or is it only doctrine in my head?
Can I see Him in a stranger's face?
Do I know that Amazing Grace,
Or do I continue on my petty pace?
Am I His sheep or only a goat?
Have I covered the naked with my coat,
Or only walked past and turned away
Never knowing the True Light of Day?
At the Mass Your Peace is past
Do I receive it, will it last?
In this world where agenda reigns
It seems Your Truth can make no gains.
Too oft it seems we’re left alone
In this place where Evil reigns and Good's or’ thrown.
I seek Your Face so that I might live
Help me to see You in those I know
As I sojourn here below
So that at the last I may in You be found
Knowing that Peace which only You can give.
