Mercy Built a Bridge

In a lowly cattle stable in Bethlehem

There were signs of new construction

On the mighty span

That in the hearts of all the lost

Would cast a shadow of a cross

'Cause that Babe of Mary's Cradle

Would soon be mercy's bridge

Home was just across the river on Heaven's side

But we were much too weak to swim

With no boat to ride

God made a way that couldn't fail

A wooden cross, three rusty nails

On Calvary's rugged ridge

Mercy built a bridge

Now we can cross, but we must cross the Calvary way

That leads from night into the brightest day

Where Jesus died that you and I could live

Leave all your guilt, for mercy built a bridge

Now we can cross, but we must cross the Calvary way

That leads from night into the brightest day

Where Jesus died that you and I could live

Leave all your guilt, for mercy built a bridge

Where Jesus died so that you and I could live

Leave all your guilt, for mercy built a bridge, a bridge

Jesus is the bridge
