[Verse 1]
             
I see a bridge

            
 a way to cros

            
s the river of

            
 strife (river

    
 of strife}
             
I'm not smart 

              
I'm not strong

             
 many deeds I'

             
ve done were w

rong
             
And my heart i

            
s often drear 

              
when troubles 

    
appear
           
But when the n

              
ight is dark a

              
nd long oh how

             
 peaceful is t

   
he dawn
             
I see a bridge

            
 a way to cros

            
s the river of

            
 strife (river

        
 of strife) 


[Chorus]
            
When the valle

              
y I must cross

       
 is so dark I 

lose my way
            
When the river

              
 is so wide my

       
 courage fails
             
I see a bridge

              
 straight and 

              
wide spanning 

             
o'er the ragin

  
g tide
             
I see a bridge

            
 a way to cros

            
s all troubles

            
 and strife (t

            
roubles and st

rife)


[Verse 2]

As I journey t

hrough this li

fe its days an

d its nights
             
I know I must 

              
cross dark and

      
 lonely valley

s
             
Where at times

             
 the path is s

            
o dim I can ha

rdly find my w

ay
             
And great rive

              
rs of trials a

   
nd tribulation

s
            
Will cross the

             
 narrow road t

             
hat I feebly t

ravel
             
But I will fea

              
r no danger fo

            
r I'm never al

one nor forsak

en
             
With faith I s

              
hall look up a

         
nd see a bridg

e
              
Yet there will

            
 always be a w

           
ay provided fo

     
r my escape


[Chorus]
            
When the valle

              
y I must cross

       
 is so dark I 

lose my way
            
When the river

              
 is so wide my

            
 courage fails
           
I see a bridge

              
 straight and 

              
wide spanning 

             
o'er the ragin

  
g tide
            
I see a bridge

            
 a way to cros

            
s all troubles

            
 and strife (t
