"Have you heard the news?" he asked me
"Don't want to believe what I heard," I replied
We were walking along the road to Emmaus
Talking about how the one called Jesus was tortured and died
How could we be so blind to the horizon?
How could we fail to see up ahead?
'Cause we didn't understand what was happening at all
Until the breaking of the bread
In the breaking of the bread
I finally understood what that apostle said
Stepped out of the dark, found the light on instead
In the breaking of the bread
In the breaking of the bread
Then a third man walked up behind us
Talking about the prophets of old
Beginning with Moses and on through the Scriptures
Showing us one by one the things the stories foretold
With Calvary's cross not far in the distance
With all of the holy blood that was shed
How could we not see Jesus beside us
Until the breaking of the bread?
Lord forgive me for my unbelieving
I wish it wasn't true
Lord forgive me for this foolish heart
That closed my eyes to You
It closed my eyes to You
In the breaking of the bread
I knew then alive He I'd seen to be dead
Stepped out of the dark, found the light on instead
In the breaking of the bread
In the breaking of the bread
In the breaking of the bread
In the breaking of the bread
