Bm                   D             A
The world's getting darker by the day
                     E                  Bm
I'm on my knees but don't know what to pray
                         D            A  E
The broken things that broken people do
                     Bm                D
But knowing just how far You came for me
                  A                E
Gives me hope for every soul I'll meet
                       Bm                  D
There's no one so far gone that You can't reach
                  A
So reach through me
          E                   A
Let them see, Lord, let them see

Chorus:
                  Bm                        F#m
Your love is the bridge You built with the cross
                       D
And Your truth is the light that searches for the
  A
lost
                       Bm
Your grace won't stop reaching,
                     F#m
Your mercy won't let go
                          D
'Cause Your love is the bridge and
Your truth leads us-
Bm D   A E
Home, home

You lead us
Bm D   A E
Home, home

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

    D           A
No rescue so relentless
     E                 F#m
No greater love than this
       D              A
Where sin leaves the canyon
      E             F#m
Your love builds a bridge
    D           A
No rescue so relentless
     E                 F#m
No greater love than this
       D              A
Where sin leaves the canyon
      E             F#m
Your love builds a bridge
    D           A
No rescue so relentless
     E                 F#m
No greater love than this
       D              A
Where sin leaves the canyon
      E             F#m
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

No rescue so relentless
No greater love than this
Where sin leaves a canyon
Your love builds a bridge
