You Are the Distance

Sometimes I see a little black, see a little white
Sometimes I almost understand
One moment coming into view, then slipping out of sight
But never quite at my command

If You call me by name
Can I ever become all that You became?
So true was Your aim

You are the Distance, but oh, so near
How can the One that I love be the One I fear?
There is no peace 'til You choose to appear

I think I see a little wrong, see a little right
But through this veil it's seldom clear
Seems like I'm sittin' in the dark, waiting for the light
A deafening silence in my ear

If You call me by name
Can I ever become all that You became?
So true was Your aim

You are the Distance, but oh, so near
How can the One that I love be the One I fear?
There is no peace 'til You choose to appear
