| The Master Builder |
| As I traveled down the road of life I was vexed within my soul For I came upon an overpass And I could not afford the toll The keeper said I'd done some things That could not be condoned And I could not cross the narrow bridge 'Til all had been atoned So I said I'd find a better way For this canyon must be crossed The keeper said "Beware Young Man" For it is easy to get lost I searched the banks of discontent But the tolls were very steep and I couldn't swim sin river For the waters were to deep The only way to make a safe passage Was to build from ridge to ridge But I'd need to find a master builder To build me such a bridge In my quest to find this master builder I met a man called Law He'd conquered many a forest with the swiftness of his saw He said that he could help me With this bridge that I must build And I listened on intently For this man was very skilled Then he showed me a list of materials His request and needs But my funds were insufficient For his works and alms and deeds I hung my head bewildered Then I felt a warm hand on my back He said I see that you are weary child So might I hold your sack My name, he said, is Jesus And I've built a thing or two If you'll put your faith and trust in me I'll build a bridge for you I said what materials are required For you to build this bridge for me He said your faith and trust Three rusty nails and one dogwood tree I followed him with all my heart And his countenance was pure And though this seemed impossible Somehow I felt secure He laid a strong foundation With mercy, love and grace And I watched that master builder Finally put each piece in place He built this bridge on Calvary And where most builders would use mud He bound it with eternal love And sealed it with his blood ~Duane Hamel~ |
