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 Reaching from a beautiful world You could've waited But 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 looking for the way back home Underneath the weight of what I wasted While mercy stood looking down on hope Then You ran to where I was waiting And Your love crossed the canyon between us You came to save me 'Cause 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 So close to Your mercy, yet so far away You ran to me, You ran to me Forgiveness embrace me, call me by name Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah You wouldn't bare the silence anymore Love broke the fall, bridged across to reach us You opened Heaven's door 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 You couldn't stand the distance
