[A] [D]
In a lowly cattle stable in Bethlehem [G] There were signs of new construction [D] on a mighty span
That in the regions of the lost would cast a shadow of a cross
[G] Cause that babe of Mary's crib [A]
would soon be [D] mercy's bridge
[A] [D] Home was just across the river on heaven's side
[G] But we were much too weak to swim [D] with no boat to ride
But God made a way that couldn't fail
I wouldn't cross three whole rusty [G] nails on Calvary's rugged [E] ridge
[A] Oh, mercy [D] built a bridge
Now [G] we can't cross, but we must cross the [D] Calvary way
That [A] leads from night into the [D] brightest day
[G] Jesus died, there you and [D] I could live
[A] Leave all your guilt, mercy [D] built a bridge
Now we [G] can't cross, but we must cross [D] the Calvary way
[A] That leads from night into the [D] brightest day
