THE BRIDGE


THE BRIDGE

Just like this old bridge with its sway
I feel that the weight of time
is beginning to steal
a memory to bury

But some days I cross over
To the other side
And I see the leaves
With their colors of gold

And I remember my prayer
To you Lord, and how you promised
To give me strength
As I grow old

So keep my thoughts on you
As I cross over this old bridge
With its sway
F0r I’m safe with you for another day.

IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS



IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS

SOMETIMES I FEEL SO LOST AND LONELY
WHEN LIFE BRINGS SORROW AND PAIN
WHY MUST WE BE BRAVE, AND STRONG
I’LL SEEK REFUGE IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS

I WANT TO SHOUT AND CRY TO YOU, LORD
AND ASK FOR YOUR MERCY AND PEACE
FOR IT’S ONLY IN YOUR HEART MY FATHER
I’M IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS

LIKE THE FAWN THAT THIRSTS FOR WATER
LIKE THE HEART THAT SLEEPS IN SILENCE
I TOO CAN REST FOREVER
IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS
