The Distance

Broken up on a road that felt like freedom

A rebel headed anywhere but home

Adam's fall repeated in a moment

Kept it at the edge of Eden's door



In the company of the angels

Reaching from a beautiful world

You could've waited



But You couldn't stand, couldn't stand the distance

You wouldn't bare the silence anymore

Love broke the fall, bridged across to reach us

You opened Heaven's door

'Cause You couldn't stand the distance



Close enough to see the love I needed

A seeker looking for the way back home

Underneath the weight of what I wasted

While mercy stood looking down on hope



Then You ran to where I was waiting

And Your love crossed the canyon between us

You came to save me



'Cause You couldn't stand, couldn't stand the distance

You wouldn't bare the silence anymore

Love broke the fall, bridged across to reach us

You opened Heaven's door



So close to Your mercy, yet so far away

You ran to me, You ran to me

Forgiveness embrace me, call me by name

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah



You wouldn't bare the silence anymore

Love broke the fall, bridged across to reach us

You opened Heaven's door



You couldn't stand, couldn't stand the distance

You wouldn't bare the silence anymore

Love broke the fall, bridged across to reach us

You opened Heaven's door

'Cause You couldn't stand the distance

You couldn't stand the distance
