Burn the Walls, Build the Bridges
Burn the walls, build the bridges,
For the gap is wide asunder;
Destroy the hedge of bitterness,
And remove the big barrier.
A person sits in the nook,
Alone and lonely in ages;
For he makes many fences
Instead of linking passages.
Loneliness can never add
Even a single second to one's life;
It rather decreases his strength
To skunk the pain and strife.
Sin makes man unhappy,
Though at first he enjoys;
Little does he understand
His relation with God it destroys.
Behold the reckless people,
Either young or old;
Driven by blunder or error,
They depart from the fold.
What a chuffed and joyful one,
He who walks in the right path;
Shrugging off the wrong ways
To avoid God's ire and wrath.
Gladly must we bury iniquity,
And turn it into ashes;
Let us return to the Lord,
Burn the walls, build the bridges.
