The father and the son step down

Looked down at the world below

The distance world where sin's strong arm

Struck a favourable blow

There had to be a sacrifice

Across a 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

Eventhough I could choose the path that least resistance

Father I will take the cross

I will go the distance



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'll walk the extra mile

If just one should find their 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

Eventhough I could choose the path that 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

Eventhough I could choose the path that least resistance

Father I will take the cross

I will go the distance



Father I will take the cross

I will go the distance
