Easter 3
Luke 24
28 As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. 29 But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us[f] while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” 33 That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. 34 They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!” 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
You are here
Lord Jesus
here at the table
We look too high
and too far out
for you
out there in the stars
beyond the heavens
We look for you
in paintings and statues
carved figures
portraying your face
and hands and feet
You are here
Lord Jesus
here at the table
We listen for you
in the hymns of the church
songs of praise
harkening to the words
the choir sing
We listen for you
in the words of the preacher
proclaiming good news
in sermons and prayers
messages of hope and deliverance
You are here
Lord Jesus
here at the table
You are here
Lord Jesus
in the breaking
of the bread
as you were broken for us
You are here
Lord Jesus
in the pouring
of the wine
as you were poured our for us
You are here
Lord Jesus
here at the table
We come to Your table
invited by your love
welcomed by your mercy
Come Lord Jesus
Come
in the bread
Come
in the wine
Come Lord Jesus
Come to your table
Come now
Come tomorrow
Come always and forever
Amen
