The Crossing


Crossing the narrow bridge of faith, Jesus carried me.
I could smell the putrid odor of charred flesh.
Gnashing teeth were dining on another innocent, cruelly
I could see many of purity's souls caught in a demonic mesh.

Hot lava boiled in Dismal's Pit, breeding the untrusting'sfear anew.
His robe was my protection on the narrow bridge.
I felt so loved, my faith in God had brought me through
Even though I had to walk a thin rope on a precarious ridge.

His nail-scarred hand held me so tenderly.
True faith had conquered the evil pitch of the demonic thorn.
Christ's love was setting my tortured body free.
Crossing the narrow bridge of faith, my pathway was no longer shorn.
