Gospel Road

Two weary travellers from Jerusalem
Walking with a stranger down a dusty highway
Two weary travellers from Jerusalem
Walking with a stranger down that dusty road

And they walked another hour to Emmaus town
And shared their supper 'til the sun went down
When He broke the bread and the word spread around
That Christ was on that gospel road

Matthew, Mark, and Luke and John
Told about Jesus on that dusty highway
Matthew, Mark and Luke and John
Told about Jesus on that dusty road

How his pillow was the stones where they laid his head
How the hungry five thousand on the hill were fed
How they sent him to the cross
But he came back and said
To walk upon that gospel road

Paul and Silas in the midnight jail
For talking 'bout Jesus on the dusty highways
Paul and Silas in the midnight jail
For talking 'bout Jesus on that dusty road

And they sang out rejoicing and the jail split wide
The doors busted open and they walked outside
But they went back to preaching through the countryside
And walking down the gospel road

So two by two and three by three
They walked in his footsteps on the dusty highways
Two by two and three by three
They walked in his footsteps on the dusty road

And they died in shipwrecks and in the lion's den
And they died on crosses and the spears of men
But when one fell back, two more would start again
To walk upon that gospel road

Two weary travellers from Jerusalem
Walking to Emmaus on that gospel highway
Two weary travellers from Jerusalem
Walking to Emmaus on that gospel road

Two weary travelers from Jerusalem
Walking to Emmaus on that gospel highway
Two weary pilgrims from Jerusalem
Walking to Emmaus on that gospel road

On the highway to Galilee is Emmaus town
It was here eyewitnesses saw him walking down
When the three broke the bread, then the word spread around
That Christ was on that gospel road

Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and John
Told about Jesus on that dusty highway
Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and John
Told about Jesus on that dusty road

How his pillows were the stones where he laid his head
How the hungry five thousand on the hill were fed
How they sent him to the cross but he came back instead
To walk upon that gospel road

Talking about Jesus on that gospel highway
Preaching about Jesus on the gospel road.
