The Distance Lyrics

Broken up, on a road that felt like freedom
A rebel, headed anywhere but home
Adam‘s fall repeated in a moment
Captive at the edge of Eden‘s door
In the company of the angels
Reaching from a beautiful world
You could have waited, but

You couldn‘t stand,
You couldn‘t stand the distance
You wouldn‘t bare the silence anymore
Love broke the fall, bridged across to reach us
When you opened heavean‘s door
῾Cause you couldn‘t stand the distance

Close enough, to see the love I needed
A seeker, looking farther way back home
Underneath, the weight of what I‘ve wasted
While mercy, stood looking down the road
Than you ran to where I was waiting
And Your love crossed the canyon between us
You came to save me, ῾cause

So close to your mercy, and so far away
You rented me, You rented me forgiveness
And brace me and call me by name
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
