Original Song Premiere: Our Hearts Were Burning

4/26/2020

0 Comments

 
My weekly song-based-on-a-bible verse challenge continues, with a song inspired by Sam Cooke. This song was a part of the 4/26/2020 virtual service of the Grosse Ile Presbyterian Church. 

The passage is Luke 24:13-35, The Road to Emmaus.  After Jesus crucifixion and resurrection, 2 travelers walk along the road and encounter a man they do not recognize.  The men lament Jesus' death and wonder about rumors of an empty tomb, and the stranger reassures them with scripture that all is happening as has been foreseen. They reach their destination, and at the moment Jesus breaks bread with them, they recognize him, and He disappears.  They ask, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

The phrase "our hearts were burning" suggested an 60s R & B style and chord progression, and I decided to incorporate doo-wop vocals as part of the mix.  I hope you enjoy it. 


Our Hearts Were Burning
Written by Dave Martin

We were walking down the road,
We were talking bout the Lord,
And how he met his end at Calvary.

When a stranger matched our pace,
Friend, he said, why the long face?
We had to break the news he had not seen.

Told him our Lord was sent to die.
We couldn’t believe our eyes
When he was both betrayed and crucified.

And worse, since that day,
Someone took His body away.
And now some rumors say that’s he’s alive!

And friend,
Our hearts are burning, burning inside!
Our hearts are burning, oh, burning.
Our hearts are burning, burning inside!
Our hearts are burning, oh burning.

That stranger listened as we walked,
Then he began to talk
Of prophecy, and he told us to not to grieve.

All that’s happened’s been foreseen,
Every trial of the teacher
From his birth to his death has been decreed.

Amos saw the darkest day, (Amos 8:9)
The Psalms sang of His betrayal. (Psalms 41:9)
Isaiah wrote that he would hang among the thieves. (Isiah
53:12)

Although deceived by a friend, (Psalm 41:9)
He will rise and will ascend. (Psalm
16:10)
It is written, the Messiah, He will live again!

Our hearts were burning, burning inside!
Our hearts were burning, oh, burning.
Our hearts were burning, burning inside!
Our hearts were burning, oh burning.

We walked and we talked until the end of day,
And then we said, “Friend, join us for a meal to keep you strong.”
When he took the bread and broke it, our eyes were finally opened.
The stranger was the Lord, he’d been with us all along!

Our hearts were burning, burning inside!
Our hearts were burning, oh, burning.
Our hearts were burning, burning inside!
Our hearts were burning, oh burning.

Just as quickly as He came
The Lord left, but he left a flame.
The fire is lit to this day, And our hearts are burning!
