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
