Fica Conosco, Senhor

They were walking so sadly
From Jerusalem to Emmaus
The two followers of Christ
Shortly after the episode of the cross

While they were talking
Jesus approached slowly
What are you discussing?
And they couldn't see the Lord

Stay with us, Lord!
It's late and night is coming!
Stay with us, Lord
We are also your followers

Don't you know, stranger
What happened?
Jesus of Nazareth was arrested
The Redeemer awaited by Israel

The leaders plotted his death
The holy prophet of God
The righteous one was crucified
The hope of the people died

Three days passed
It was all a sweet illusion
The women scared them
They didn't find his body

They said He is alive
They knew it in a vision
The tomb was empty
But no one knows where the Master is

Jesus then reminded them
To enter the glory of Christ
The prophets had already spoken
He had to face sufferings

And along the way
Their hearts burned
He spoke to them about the Scriptures
Explaining his mission

Finally arriving at their destination
Jesus acted as if he would go on
But they insisted
Come, Lord, come stay with us

Sitting with them at the table
He gave thanks and broke the bread
The two were so surprised
Jesus Christ, the Lord, had risen
