Here's my latest. It's about broken friendships, with the "bridges burned" theme, along with the hopes of restoration. This is probably one of the most emotional and heartfelt songs I've ever written. Hope you all like it! As always, any comments are appreciated.
THE BRIDGE
Words & Music by Dale A. Crockett
God brought them together in their times of need
He'd built a bridge between them, and in the center, He'd planted a seed
That seed grew into a friendship and they drew close as the months went by
They bonded with each other, and vowed to be friends for all time
Now a wall stands between them where that bridge used to be
Angry words had been spoken so hastily
The bridge is reduced to embers, and the bond broken in two
Prayers have asked for rebuilding, something only God can do
CHORUS:
BRIDGES ARE BUILT FOR CROSSING, NOT BURNING DOWN
THEY'RE ANCHORED IN TRUST ON SOLID GROUND
TIME AND FORGIVENESS CAN BE GOD'S HAMMER AND NAILS
GOD CAN BUILD A STRONGER BRIDGE, ONE THAT WILL PREVAIL
At night he dreams the wall has fallen, with the new bridge in its place
She's standing on the other side, and his heart begins to race
In his dream, his prayers have been answered, she's had a change of heart
God's brought back together what had once been torn apart
He awakes, his eyes filled with tears, feeling the loss of his friend
He says a prayer, asks God for the bridge that will bring their lives together again
CHORUS:
BRIDGES ARE BUILT FOR CROSSING, NOT BURNING DOWN
THEY'RE ANCHORED IN TRUST ON SOLID GROUND
TIME AND FORGIVENESS CAN BE GOD'S HAMMER AND NAILS
GOD CAN BUILD A STRONGER BRIDGE, ONE THAT WILL PREVAIL
TAG:
TIME AND FORGIVENESS CAN BE GOD'S HAMMER AND NAILS
GOD CAN BUILD A STRONGER BRIDGE, ONE THAT WILL PREVAIL
