You tried to run so that no one
could desert you, always looking
for the perfect place to hide. You
build up walls so that no one
could ever hurt you. And yet the
loneliness made you cry, bridges
all burned, nowhere to turn but
to heaven.
Miles and miles away, Love saw
you there and stretched out His
hand to reach you, across the
lonely ocean of your tears. And
He'll walk upon the waves if
that's what it takes to save you.
Love doesn't have the heart to
stay miles and miles away.
He has the grace to cover any dis-
tance, always looking for the lost
and weary soul. No, no He never
stops offering forgiveness, and to
the wanderer a welcome home.
So roam no more. Jesus is Lord,
down from Heaven.
Miles and miles away, Love saw
you there and stretched out His
hand to reach you, across the
lonely ocean of your tears. And
He'll walk upon the waves if
that's what it takes to save you.
Love doesn't have the heart to
stay miles and miles away.
Neither day or night, death or
life could ever separate us from
the love that spans the ages.
Miles and miles away, Love saw
you there and stretched out His
hand to reach you, across the
lonely ocean of your tears. And
He'll walk upon the waves if
that's what it takes to save you.
Love doesn't have the heart to
stay miles and miles away.
Miles and miles away. Miles and
miles away.
