Two Merging Streams (Luke 16:19-31)
Two merging streams a river make,
But in the blend both cultures take
And fashion something new in God
Which to the rest seems rather odd.But now a bridge to both you’ll be,
One foot firm planted all can see
Upon each bank – you form a span
Which lets folks go from land to land.For down below where you don’t fit,
A gulf is dug, which can’t be fixed,
By Dives and others of his clan –
Now over top you form a span.Sometimes it’s good to have a gap;
It keeps folks by themselves, and that
Can be a blessing – conflict stops,
So peace can reign as reign it ought.But how do emissaries cross,
Or must they all their plans now toss?
Ah yes! That span God made in you –
When river blended He from two.navigation
