Meditational, thought-provoking songs for easy Christian listening...the music of singer-songwriter Nancy Krebs
Welcome to my Soundclick page! I have been a professional actor and singer for all of my adult life. I felt fairly complete doing theatre, films, voice-over work commercials, and teaching. Ever since I was in High School, I also wrote songs--many of them spiritual in nature. I’ve always felt a strong desire to “serve” in some capacity. It wasn’t until 1994, when I turned the process of writing over to God, that all of the avenues that I had been following seemed to come together. I began to write song after song, inspired by the Holy Spirit, singing at a church that supported my fledgling efforts. People kept asking me ‘do you have a cassette or a CD of your songs?” “No”, I would always answer--for the thought of recording never entered my head. Finally, after much soul-searching, my first album, THE JOURNEY, was created, and concerts followed; and more songs followed, and another album followed, and the journey continues. God is not finished yet, and neither am I. The songs I’ve been blessed to write come under the heading of “meditational”, “contemplative”, “inspirational”; and when people listen, they seem to be moved by the sentiments expressed. My fervent hope is that a song will touch someone’s heart, and that heart will be moved to a closer union with God--the Father, who created us, Jesus the Son, who redeemed us, and the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies us.

Story behind the song
The Gospel inspired this song, and David Smith of Icon Studios gave it a rockin' feel. I love it.
Lyrics
ROAD TO EMMAUS © 2005 Nancy Krebs (April 8) ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, THEY WERE GOING TO EMMAUS; LEAVING ALL THEY KNEW BEHIND, IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS. ALL THAT THEY COULD SEE WAS PAIN, DESPAIR AND LOSS. AND THAT THEIR HOPE HAD DIED UPON A CROSS. SO WHERE WAS THEIR HERO THEIR SAVIOUR SO MIGHTY? THEIR DREAMS HAD DIED WITH HIM ON THE HILL OF CALVARY. WHEN A MAN CAME TO JOIN THEM, ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS ASKING THEM TO TELL HIM ABOUT WHAT HAD TAKEN PLACE. THEY TOLD HIM ALL ABOUT THEIR PAIN, DESPAIR AND LOSS. HOW THEIR HOPE HAD DIED UPON A CROSS. HE EXPLAINED THAT THEIR HERO, THEIR SAVIOUR SO MIGHTY HAD TO SUFFER AND TO DIE ON THAT HILL OF CALVARY. AND LATER WHEN HE BROKE THE BREAD THEIR EYES WERE OPENED, THEY WERE LED TO SEE HIM RISEN FROM THE DEAD IN THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS THEIR HEARTS BURNED WITHIN THEM ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS JESUS CAME TO THEM. THEY TURNED AND RETURNED TO TELL ALL THE OTHERS-- WHAT HAD HAPPENED ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS. ANY DAY OF ANY WEEK, WE CAN FEEL A SADNESS; LOSE OUR WAY BY GETTING CAUGHT IN THE WORLD AND ITS MADNESS. SOMETIMES WE GET SWALLOWED UP IN PAIN, DESPAIR AND LOSS; AND WE CAN ONLY SEE HOPE DYING ON A CROSS. BUT OUR HERO TRULY LIVES OUR SAVIOUR SO MIGHTY HIS THRONE OF LOVE HIGH ON THAT HILL OF CALVARY. IN THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD OUR EYES OPENED, WE ARE LED. TO SEE HIM RISEN FROM THE DEAD. IN THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD. ON OUR ROAD TO EMMAUS OUR HEARTS BURN WITHIN US ON OUR ROAD TO EMMAUS JESUS COMES TO US. LET US TURN AND RETURN TO TELL ALL THE OTHERS-- WHAT HAPPENED... ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS. ABOUT JESUS.... ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS.
