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

Reachin’ from a beautiful world

You could’ve waited

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 lookin’ for the way back home

Underneath the weight of what I wasted

While mercy stood lookin’ down on hope

Then you ran to where I was waiting

And your love crossed the canyon between us

You came to save me

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

So close to your mercy

Yet so far away

You ran to me

You ran to me

Forgiveness

Embrace me

You call me by name

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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
