The father and the son step out Looked down at the world below The distance world where sin's strong arm Had struch a favourable blow There had to be a sacrifice Across 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 Eventhough I could choose the path of least resistance Father I will take the cross I will go the distance To 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 of 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 of least resistance Father I will take the cross I will go the distance Father I will take the cross I will go the distance
