Reconciliation is a bridge
To joy and peace,
A healing bond of love
Which brings blessing and release.
To walk this bridge we must lay down
All bitterness and ire,
Forgiving hurts and all offense
Which may have happened prior.
Heart-wrenching as this task may be,
In retrospect we'll find
That this will wash away our pain
And leave it far behind.
Forgiveness breaks the barriers
And opens up the gate.
As we cross this wondrous bridge
It's healing will be great!
"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you."
Ephesians 4:32 KJV
