Go The Distance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The father and the son stepped out
Looked down at the world below
A distant world where sin-strong arms
Had struck a fatal blow
There had to be a sacrifice
Across the lonely hill
Someone had to span the globe
So jesus said i will
I will go the distance
I will go that far
I will give up everything
To bring them where you are
Even tho i could choose the path of least resistance
Father i will take the cross
I will go the distance
To think about his sacrifice
Leaves me with a choice to make
So many stand just out of reach
With eternity at stake
I can be the go-between
Who walks the extra mile
If just one should find the way
Then it's been worth the while
I will go the distance
I will go that far
I will give up everything
To bring them where you are
Even tho i could choose the path of least resistance
Father i will take the cross
I will go the distance
I will go the distance
I will go that far
I will give up everything
To bring them where you are
Even tho i could choose the path of least resistance
Father i will take the cross
I will go the distance
Father i will take the cross
I will go the distance
