[pulsating cross]


On the Road to Emmaus



Oh there is a fire within me
it breathes life into my very soul
it crowns me with glory and clothes me in an armor of light

My soul is stirred and my spirit aflame I have seen the light of love and touched His face
My soul does tremble with fear and yet is quieted with the peace of His love
Yes there is a fire within me and it comes from above
With all my heart and all my might With all that is within me I love Him I pour out all that I am and I am pours in all that He is
My cup over flows My face is set like stone towards Him My spirit dances wildly My soul is in awe My countenance brightens I am consumed by fire from the Spirit within He is the banner of God the grace of Christ the joy of the Lord the sword of the all mighty my counselor and teacher He is Wisdom and Inspiration I have inclined my ear to Him for He is life
I was traveling along in my journey of life troubled in heart by the things I had seen but then one day Jesus brought a fire to me the Holy Spirit He is the fire within Oh how my heart burns within me as I walk with God

{3:11} I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: {3:12} Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. {3:13} Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. {3:14} But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee,and comest thou to me? Matthew 3:11-14

{24:24} And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. {24:25} Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: {24:26} Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? {24:27} And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. {24:28} And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. {24:29} But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. {24:30} And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. {24:31} And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. {24:32} And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? {24:33} And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, {24:34} Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. Luke 24:24-34


Water and fire I have been cleansed with
both my heart is clean and my eyes do see
the hand of Him who leads me
and my ears do hear the voice of the one who loves me
