A Song of Bridges
When I am weary, feeling small,*
I pray because I know God cares.
The love of God, who made me, is
supreme; no other love compares.
When troubled waters, rough and deep,
torment you, when you sigh and weep,
your fervent prayers can prove to be
the bridge that makes your troubles flee.
When I am weary, feeling small,
a friend’s kind words or loving smile
may lift my spirits from the depths
and help me conquer that next mile.
When troubled waters, rough and deep,
torment you, when you sigh and weep,
a loved one’s words may prove to be
the bridge that makes your worries flee.
When I am weary, feeling small,
I look within myself to find
the courage that’s eluding me;
I place demands upon my mind.
The bridge I walk upon in times
of troubled waters will be weak
unless the strength of God, loved ones,
and self I diligently seek.
When troubled waters, rough and deep,
torment you, when you sigh and weep,
support you seek can prove to be
the bridge that makes your worries flee.
Note: “When I am weary, feeling small” is borrowed from the Simon and Garfunkel hit song “Bridge over Troubled Water”—“When you’re weary, feeling small.”
