"Gate 10 Emmaus"

by Christcentric
Album: City of God

Two men sharing doubts, 'the Lord's tomb they cleared it out/

many spoke rumors of His posthumous whereabouts!'

'We thought this dude would conquer nations'/

a third observed their mood and somber faces, said "not to intrude, but what's the conversation'"

This was confusing them/

"this man must be an outsider this is all the news within Jerusalem!'

'The topic' Anticipation, they strongly made us stop it/

when they killed the long awaited prophet!'

Um, stop let's see/

the carpenter who hung on carpentry fulfilling prophecy' Eli, Eli, lama sabacthani/

mad archaic, Aramaic but He had to say it displaying the Lord's sovereignty!

Search the scriptures to solve every clue/

My God, my God why have U forsaken me' A veiled reference to Psalm 22, beyond the pentateuch in the poetic books blatantly!

This wasn't a fierce plan of defeat/

verse 16 they pierced his hands and his feet!

As many watched with their loathing/

joking, they tore His robe and cast lots for His clothing!

He was carrying their burden/

verse 24, the Lord didn't abhor when He called He heard Him!

If u know the facts its simple, relax your mental/

don't believe this weekends past events were accidental!



They showered Him with pain, for power in His name/

"Say what'" Please refrain, allow me to explain!

See He caught the hemorrage, to go thru each man's hell/

when man fell in Genesis, got kicked off the premises!

The proto-evangel, truth first revealed/

remember He'd crush the enemy, who'd bruise up His heel!

He'd be on a wretched mission/

brutalized, looking like a new disguise, beaten way

beyond recognition!

Abused, confused by His losing'

Know it pleased the Lord to bruise Him, excuse my intrusion!

Read Isaiah 53, specifically/

the messiah portrayed vividly God gave victory!

and how He paid iniquities' debt, when He was stricken to death/

this guy's despised and not given respect!

He could be right beside u yet your sight defies you/

He's eternal, read it in Micah 5:2!

Don't you find it odd, that His coming announced/

in Isaiah 9:6 as wonderful, couns-ellor, mighty God,

Everlasting father, prince of peace is in the word brethren/

and His kingdom never ends in verse 7!

Seated at God's right hand in heaven/

understand the same Son of man in Daniel 7!

Isaiah said the Messiah heals a lot of diseases/

tell me not if its Jesus, healing quadripilegics!

This means He's powerful- just like Jesus/

He'd speak in parables- just like Jesus!

Within, their hearts were burning like a fire/

as He expounded on the Scriptures concerning the Messiah!



As they approached town, the third who was so profound's/

about to go now, cuz the sun's about to go down!

Their souls sort of dampered, with the third on His way/

they urged Him to stay and wouldn't take no for an answer!

'It's been a blessed trip/

Your wealth and knowledge of the Scripts are impressive, we're hip to the message/

about Jesus', as they think upon it/

'this cat's familiar but I still can't quite put my finger on it!'

Mind's spinning, as they consider those thoughts/

dinner is brought, the third reclines to dine with them!

Outside was dead heat, before they're fed meat/

it's their table but the stranger's sitting at the head seat!

Still with His face concealed, at the table's place they kneeled/

and observed as the third's words graced the meal!

When He broke bread they gazed in amazement/

"destroy this temple in 3 days I'll raise it."
