The father and the son step down   Looked down at the world below   The distance world where sin's strong arm   Struck a favourable blow   There had to be a sacrifice   Across a lonely hill   Someone had to span the globe   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 that least resistance   Father I will take the cross   I will go the distance      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 that 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 that least resistance   Father I will take the cross   I will go the distance      Father I will take the cross   I will go the distance
