We pass across the bridge of life
Where swirling waters flow,
Walking with eyes ahead
Because it's dark below.
We keep our sight uplifted
To see the blazing light,
That shines forever brighter
When onward is our flight.

We raise our hands to Jesus
That He forever clasps,
To draw us to His sunshine
That on our face is cast.
We turn from every shadow
While tears may course on down,
Believing in His promise
That joy in Him is found.

We pluck the pretty flowers
That grow upon His path,
To breath life giving fragrance
Sweet within our heart.
We're guided by each burning lamp
Lit only on His way,
To follow in His footsteps
That lead to heaven's day.

Poetry from The Heart
For thou, Lord,
wilt bless the righteous;
with favour wilt thou
compass him as with a shield.
Psalm 5:12 (KJV)
