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
