Lyrics
Instrumental
Verse 1
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'll meet
There's no one so far gone that You can't reach
So reach through me
Let them see, Lord, let them see
Chorus
Your love is the bridge You built with the 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, home
You lead us
Home, home
Verse 2
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 wanna be a bridge that leads to You
So reach through me
Let them see, Lord, let them see
Chorus
Your love is the bridge You built with the 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, home
You lead us
Home, home
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
No rescue so relentless
No greater love than this
Where sin leaves a canyon
Your love builds a bridge
Your love builds a bridge
Chorus
Your love is the bridge You built with the 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, 'cause Your love is the bridge
Outro
No rescue so relentless
No greater love than this
Where sin leaves a canyon
Your love builds a bridge

Meaning & Inspiration
“The Bridge” uses the cross as an image of God’s love reaching people separated by sin. Against a world marked by darkness and brokenness, the singer finds hope in the distance Christ crossed and in the conviction that no person lies beyond his reach. Truth is pictured as light for the lost, while grace and mercy continue their work of rescue and lead toward home.
The lyric also turns that message into a prayer for faithful witness. Its request that God reach through the singer makes Christian speech inseparable from loving action. The line about becoming a bridge to Christ fits the song’s emphasis on sharing truth with compassion rather than treating evangelism as words alone. Images of a canyon and a bridge underscore the contrast between sin’s separation and Christ’s reconciling love. Rooted in the cross and directed toward those who feel far away, the song presents mission as participation in God’s persistent search for the lost.
