Inspired by the Emmaus story (Luke 24), Stay With Us, Lord is a meditation on grief, misunderstanding, and quiet recognition. The song follows the disciples as they walk in sorrow, unaware that the Risen Christ is beside them… listening, teaching, and waiting to be known. Only in the breaking of the bread do their eyes open — and what felt like loss becomes presence. Written in a simple, plainspoken style for prayer and reflection, Stay With Us, Lord is especially suited for evening prayer, Communion, retreats, funerals, and moments when faith feels dim but hope is still close at hand. “Stay with us, Lord… and walk with us this night.”
