The Father and the Son stepped out   Looked down at the world below   A distant world where sin-strong arms   Had struck a fatal blow   There had to be a sacrifice   Across the 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   Even tho 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 walks the extra mile   If just one should find The 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   Even tho 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   Even tho 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
