Oh oh
The world's getting darker by the day
I'm on my knees but don't know what to pray
The broken things that broken people do
But knowing just how far You came for me
Gives me hope for every soul I meet
There's no one so far gone that You can't reach
So reach through me
Let them see, Lord, let them see
Your love is the bridge
You built with a cross
And Your truth is the light
That searches for the lost
Your grace won't stop reaching
Your mercy won't let go
'Cause Your love is the bridge
And Your truth leads us home, oh,
You lead us home, oh
You never told the broken they were whole
You spoke the truth that healed their broken souls
You'd never leave us here to fight alone
With love we earn the right to speak Your truth
it's not just what we say, it's what we do
I want to be a bridge that leads to You
So reach through me
Let them see, Lord, let them see
Your love is the bridge
You built with a cross
And Your truth is the light
That searches for the lost
Your grace won't stop reaching
Your mercy won't let go
'Cause Your love is the bridge
And Your truth leads us home, oh,
You lead us home, oh
No rescue so relentless
No greater love than this
Where sin leaves a canyon
Your love builds a bridge
No rescue so relentless
No greater love than this
Where sin leaves a canyon
Your love builds a bridge
No rescue so relentless
No greater love than this
Where sin leaves a canyon
Your love builds a bridge
Your love builds a bridge
Your love is the bridge
You built with a cross
Your truth is the light
That searches for the lost
Your grace won't stop reaching
Your mercy won't let go
'Cause Your love is the bridge
Your love is the bridge
No rescue so relentless
No greater love than this
Where sin leaves a canyon
Your love builds a bridge
