The Bridge

Walking along this path of life
filled with pain, misery, and strife
The terrain was barren and vast
a fugitive from a forgotten past
The journey was lonely and dark
lost in despair, I missed the mark
Retracing my steps, as evil pressed on
clouds of confusion eclipsed the sun
Blind and fearful, I fell to my knees
and cried, O God, Dear God---Please
My eyes were then opened to paradise unseen
but first I must cross the bridge, that lay in between
And as I opened my heart and mind to the Lord
He sealed my soul with His holy word
Redeemed, sanctified, and justified
only because He was willing to die
You must understand, that the bridge that I would cross
was indeed The Cross
