I Can See (On the Emmaus Road)

All at once He walked beside me
Like He'd been there all along
Not a stranger but a Father
Who can sense when something's wrong
And He answered all my questions
And He understood my fears
That somehow vanished now that He was here

Can't you see who walks with you
Can't you hear who speaks your name
Can't you feel something stirring in your heart How His words ring strong and true
Like a once familiar strain
Can the paths we follow from now on be the same

I couldn't bear for Him to leave me
So I begged Him please to stay
Spend the evening, a few moments
Before He went His way
Then like a host He stood and blessed me
Broke the bread and poured the wine
Then I knew there was something there I recognized

Yes, I can see who walks with me
I can hear who speaks my name
I can feel something stirring in my heart
How His words ring strong and true
Like a once familiar strain
And I know I'll never be the same
I can see

And from that moment in time
I felt the emptiness subside
And all the wonder of creation shining through And for that first time in my life
I really looked into His eyes
And saw eternity and suddenly I knew
Yes, I can see
