You just had one of those days when Heaven seems a world away,
The weight of this world is too much to bear;
But lay it down and you will find there's a bridge over troubled times,
And it's waiting for you on the other side of a prayer.
Two thousand years and it's still standing,
God knows how many souls have crossed;
It reaches all the way from your heart to Heaven's Gate,
Just one step and you're across.
He wanted us to see His Father for our sins,
So He built a bridge with two boards and three nails.
He grew up a carpenter's son, it's still amazing what He got done,
One man a sacrifice of love;
So we don't have to pay the price just offer Him our lives,
And follow the way He paved for us.
Two thousand years and it's still standing,
God knows how many souls have crossed;
It reaches all the way from your heart to Heaven's Gate,
And just one step and you're across.
He wanted us to see His Father for our sins,
So He built a bridge with two boards and three nails.
You might not see it now but I swear,
The moment you believe, Oh, it appears.
Two thousand years and it's still standing,
God knows how many souls have crossed;
It reaches all the way from your heart to Heaven's Gate,
Just one step and you're across.
He wanted us to see His Father for our sins,
So He built a bridge with two boards and three nails.
