I Will Go the Distance

The Father and the Son stepped out
Looked down at the world below
A distant world where sin's strong arm
Had struck a fatal blow
There had to be a sacrifice
A cross, a lonely hill
Someone had to span the gulf
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
And even though I could choose
The path of least resistance
Father, I will take the cross
And I will go the distance

To Think about His sacrifice
Leavеs me with a choice to make
So many stand just out of rеach
With eternity at stake
But I can be the go-between
And walk the extra mile
And 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
And even though I could choose
The path of least resistance
Father, I will take the cross
And 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
And even though I could choose
The path of least resistance
Father, I will take the cross
And I will go the distance

Father I will take the cross
I will go the distance
