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
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
