Walking Closely

Posted on May 21, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

From Luke 24:13-15: “Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself came near and went with them.”

On life’s Emmaus Road

Walking closely with thee

Grace of Jesus bestowed

Calvary’s path sets us free

Wilderness gathers near

Walking down evil’s road

Christ’s love making it clear

Sinful darkness now implodes

Life’s burdens weighing down

Walking with Christ, our Lord

Mercy begins countdown

Redemption coming on board

Heaven’s kingdom awaits

Walking each faithful path

Salvation opens gate

Jesus bridges judgement’s wrath

From Philippians 3:20: “But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
