God's Bridge

There is a gap between earth and heaven a mile wide,
We created it with our sloth, gluttony, lust, and pride.
We tried to make a bridge, but we failed,
We made it out of lies, and it never availed.
God saw us and knew that we needed aid,
So the life of His one and only son He paid.
God used His son as a bridge to meet our needs,
Even with our sinfulness, wickedness, and vile deeds.
God created the bridge to end the strife,
And now we all may have eternal-life.
