[Verse] We walked down the dusty path so narrow A stranger joined us on the way Our hearts were heavy full of sorrow We didn't know it was a brighter day [Verse 2] He asked us why we looked morose We spoke of Jesus and our loss He opened scriptures warmed our spirits To show us then the power of the cross [Chorus] Oh the stranger on the road Hid more than eyes could see In the breaking of our bread Revealed God's mystery [Verse 3] As he spoke our hearts did burn His words like flames of fire We reached the village begged him stay In his presence felt desire [Verse 4] At the table in the evening light He broke the bread we saw Him then Our eyes were opened wide with awe Jesus our Lord lives again [Chorus] Oh the stranger on the road Hid more than eyes could see In the breaking of our bread Revealed God's mystery
