On a dry and dusty road, we walk hand in hand

With hope in our hearts, new beginnings, faithful plans

A long journey begins as we share life’s wandering road

A life of love, a life of learning, a life of faith, a life of hope

And our hearts burn within us as we walk along this road

Hand in hand and heart to heart, together we will go

God's Spirit's alive within us as we journey on Christ's way

To be children of the light, to be people of faith

On the road to our Emmaus, we meet Christ on the way

In the words that we share, in each other every day

We share all our hopes, our dreams, our faith, our lives

As we journey with each other, journey together in Christ

And our hearts burn within us as we walk along this road

Hand in hand and heart to heart, together we will go

God's Spirit's alive within us as we journey on Christ's way

To be children of the light, to be people of faith

 We’ve come to share our story, to hear God’s Holy Word

Our story of hope, hope for us and all the world

In the words that he gave us, and the cross that set us free

We are called to tell this story of love and God’s own peace

And our hearts burn within us as we walk along this road

Hand in hand and heart to heart, together we will go

God's Spirit's alive within us as we journey on Christ's way

To be children of the light, to be people of faith

So stay with us, and remember, the journey that we share

In the life we celebrate here, in the breaking of the bread

And our eyes are truly opened to the wonder of God’s love

To Christ who lives among us, Christ who makes us one

And our hearts burn within us as we walk along this road

Hand in hand and heart to heart, together we will go

God's Spirit's alive within us as we journey on Christ's way

To be children of the light, to be people of faith
