Every time you get a  little lonely
G 
C 
I'll be your bridge
G 
It makes my mind run back
to the time in the world
C 
when this little man had laid
G 
by the pool of shalom
C 
all of his life. He couldn't walk.
G 
And you know every once in a while
the water would get trouble.
C 
God would send an angel down
G 
to trouble the waters.
And whatever disease you had,
C 
whatever infirmity you had,
G 
all you had to do was step in the water.
C 
And when the water got troubled,
G 
everything would be alright.
C 
The pain would go.
And this little man was laying there
G 
for 38 long years.
And you see he didn't have friends
C 
and he didn't have family.
G 
And so when the water got troubled,
C 
he would try to pull his way to the water.
G 
And one day Jesus showed up .
And he said, what you doing?
C 
He said, every time the water gets troubled,
G 
I don't have nobody to put
me in the pool.
C 
Jesus touched him
G 
and said, rise up and walk.
C 
You don't need nobody.
G 
All you need is me, my Lord.
C 
G 
Yeah, see, I'll be your bridge.
C 
Oh yes, I will.
G 
I'll be your water.
Uh -huh.
C 
And you know, the little woman at the well,
G 
he met this little woman,
C 
and she had already had six husbands,
G 
but she was about to meet the seventh.
And he said, what you doing?
C 
She said, I'm drawing water.
G 
He said, put your bucket down,
C 
because if you drink of this water,
G 
you'll never have to thirst again.
C 
Let me tell you something,
he'll be rich,
G 
C 
he'll be your water,
G 
he'll give you a drink
C 
when everybody else leave you,
C 
G 
C 
he'll be your friend, oh yes he will,
G 
he'll walk with you,
He'll talk with the youth,
he'll dry the tears from your eyes.
Let me be your bridge,
let me be your bridge.
