The Bridge

An obstruction can be overcome by building a bridge Whether the obstacle is of land or of sea But the bridge most essential to all of mankind Is the one that leads to God, no other way to Him we'll find With three nails and a cross, Jesus built us a bridge To carry us across sin's deep abyss There is no other way, for without Him we are lost Jesus saves with a bridge made of three nails and a cross God the Father was willing to send His only Son God the Son obeyed and left His home on high Born of a virgin by God's Spirit, clothed in humanity Born to die, to rise again, He bridged the gap for you and me We are such loathsome sinners, while God is so pure It's impossible to match His perfect ways No earthly bridge can reach over a chasm so wide Only one such bridge exists, the one that Jesus provides With three nails and a cross, Jesus built us a bridge It's the only way to span sin's great divide He offered up His life, there is no greater cost Thank the Lord, He built a bridge with three nails and a cross There has been many bridges built by the hands of men Much skillfulness and toil they did employ But none can be compared to, or was made with such love As the bridge our Lord supplies for us, that leads to God above Jesus offers free passage for you to cross that bridge It's the only way, the Bible tells us so No toll is required, it was paid for with His blood Accept His gracious gift and He will guide you by His love With three nails and a cross, Jesus built us a bridge It's the only way to span sin's great divide He offered up His life, there is no greater cost I'm so thankful He built a bridge with three nails and a cross
