I See a Bridge
[Intro]
I see a bridge, a way to cross the river of strife

[Verse]
I'm not smart, I'm not strong, many deeds I've done were wrong
And my heart is often grieved when troubles appear
But when the night is dark and long, oh, how peaceful is the dawn
I see a bridge, a way to cross the river of strife

[Chorus]
When the valley 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 raging tide
I see a bridge, a way to cross all troubles and strife

[Bridge]
As I journey through this life, its days and its nights
I know that I must cross dark and lonely valleys
Where at times the path is so dim I can hardly find my way
And great rivers of trials and tribulations will cross the narrow road that I feebly travel
But I will fear no danger, for I'm never alone or forsaken
With faith, I shall look up and see a bridge
Yes, there will always be a way provided for my escape

[Chorus]
When the valley 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 raging tide
I see a bridge, a way to cross all troubles and strife
