I was reading the Bible and the Old Testament not long ago, how under the old law, man was
privileged, surrounded with blood, sacrifice, and the prices of sins and heaven just a year
at a [Dm] time.
[G#] Heaven was [N] just on the other side of the river, but there was no real way for man to make a crossing.
Then in a little town called Bethlehem, [G] [G#] it wasn't the completion of a bridge, [N] but there
was strong evidence that a new bridge was being built that would get man across the water.
Thirty-three years later, hanging on a little cross with the nails driven in his hand, and
the blood [D] running from his thigh, [G#m] the finishing touches were being put to that bridge that
was hanging strong.
[N] Three days later, when he'd come out of that grave, he conquered that hell of a grave.
The whole world would know, [G#m] you don't have to wonder anymore what heaven would [D] be like,
[G#] but thanks to the blood that was shed on [G] Calvary's [G#m] cross, you and I could go home someday.
Hallelujah.
We could make the crossing simply because mercy [Gm] built the bridge.
