One day they nailed a carpenter to a rugged tree
Thinking he would never build again
There they nailed him through his hands and feet
Still he carried out a master plan
Jesus built a bridge to heaven
So that I could have a way up to him
Jesus built a bridge
The only way he could
With only three nails
And two pieces of wood
With one rugged cross
Jesus built a bridge
The potter looked from heaven to a world below
And it seemed there was no way to claim his own
So to the world his son the master builder had to go
To make a way to bring god's children home
Jesus built a bridge to heaven
So that I could have a way up to him
Jesus built a bridge
The only way he could
With only three nails
And two pieces of wood
With one rugged cross
Jesus built the bridge
With only three nails
And two pieces of wood
With one rugged cross
Jesus built a bridge
