Bridge of Rope

I went on a journey to save my soul    
    
For my life of sin had taken it's toll    
   
Over mountains and through thick woods    
   
I came upon a bridge of rope    
   
Stretching over the valley of darkness    
   
It would test my faith and hope    
   
The wind howled, the thunder roared    
   
As the bridge swayed to and fro    
   
I could hear the demons Laughing    
   
And taunting me from below  
   
My sin was heavy  
   
My guilt was strong  
   
Hope began to fade  
   
So on my knees I prayed to thee    
   
To give me strength and courage    
   
As rain fell down upon me    
   
And I thought my end was near    
   
I heard the voice of Jesus
 
He told me not to fear
 
He said my son
 
My work is done
 
I bore the cross
 
The battle is won

So I bowed my head

I began to pray

I had found salvation

That faithful day
