Bridge of Tranquility
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
You might destroy the bridge
But the highway skirts the river
And from its handrails drip
The faith of every true believer
The highway’s name is Righteousness
It leads straight into heaven
You will not need your good footwear
All the feet on it are bare
In full submission to the Lord
On earth he saved them from the hordes
