2nd Corinthians 5 verse 18 thru 20
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world
unto Himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them;
and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
THE BRIDGE OF LIFE
BRIDGES ARE BUILT FOR CROSSING, TO REACH THE OTHER SIDE.
SOME ARE SMALL AND SOME ARE GREAT, ALL BUILT WITH MEASURED PRIDE.
SOME BRIDGES ARE VERY SIMPLE, BUILT WITH WOOD AND NAILS,
WHILE OTHERS WITH MORTAR AND STEEL, SEEMINGLY WILL NEVER FAIL.
SOME BRIDGES WE ARE CROSSING, ARE SUSPENDED IN THE AIR,
AND BEING SO COSTLY, THEY REQUIRE A DUTY OR FARE.
PEOPLE ARE COMING AND GOING, NEVER SEEMING TO CARE,
WHAT FOUNDATION SUPPORTS THEM, OR IF THEY ARE IN NEED OF REPAIR.
THE MANY BRIDGES IN LIFE WE CROSS, WE BELIEVE TO BE STRONG,
BUT BENEATH AND WITHIN CRACKS ARE GROWING, AS TIME MOVES ALONG.
WITH DAY UPON DAY, WITH AGE COMES ROT AND DECAY,
EVENTUALLY THE SUPPORTS, AND FOUNDATIONS GIVE WAY.
BRIDGES WERE MADE FOR CROSSING, TO REACH THE OTHER SIDE.
SOME SPAN MERELY INCHES, WHILE OTHERS GREAT DIVIDES.
DEATH IS THAT GREAT CHASM, WHERE MANY SOULS ARE LOST,
FOR FAILURE TO COME TO THE BRIDGE, THAT IS CALLED THE CROSS.
EVERY PERSON NEEDS THIS BRIDGE, AS WE ALL HAVE GONE WRONG.
THIS BRIDGE TO LIFE IS NARROW, AND ONLY TO GOD BELONGS.
BEFORE THERE'S NO WAY TO CROSS, DEATHS FINAL SPAN,
SALVATION CRIES FROM THE BRIDGE, PLEASE REACH FOR MY OUTSTRETCHED HANDS.
GOD’S BRIDGE IS THE ONLY CROSSING, TO CROSS TO LIFE’S OTHER SIDE.
PUBLISHED AS FREE TO ALL, THAT ARE HUMBLE WITH BURIED PRIDE.
THE BRIDGE CALLED THE CROSS, IS GOD’S GREAT GIFT,
FOR THERE HUNG GOD’S SON OVER SIN, WITH DEATH’S GREAT RIFT.
THIS BRIDGE OF LIFE’S CROSSING, IS MORE THAN BEAMS OF WOOD AND NAILS,
FOR THERE THE LOVE OF GOD WAS CRUCIFIED, FOR EVERY ONE HAS FAILED.
JESUS' WAS PERFECT IN HEART, THOUGH MADE TO BE OUR SIN,
SO IN FAITH WE PASSOVER DEATH, AND ENTER LIFE WITHIN HIM.
With one heart, Stephen and Robert Glenn Pratten
