I see a figure in the distance, I don't know what it is

I think its walking on the water, how is this

I step out of the boat, I'm floating on the water

The figure in the distance is trying to come closer 

There's something in the way that's keeping it from me

What is this plague that ever haunts me constantly

Can someone please help me get this wall out of my way

So I can see what's coming on those distant shores



Distant shores can seem so far away

When I hold the things of my past in my way

Jesus carried my cross to the Hill of Calvary

To take the burdens away from me



The wall blocking my way came tumbling down

And the figure in the distance kept reaching for me

The figure began to form a face

And a light began to shine all around Him

It was Jesus my prince of peace

He had His arms wide open 

He was reaching out to me



Distant shores can seem so far away

When I hold the things of my past in my way

Jesus carried my cross to the Hill of Calvary

To take the burdens away from me



Jesus looked me in the eyes with a tear rolling from His cheek

He pulled me close and He held me

And then He picked me up in His loving arms

And He carried me home to those distant shores
