"Jesus At A Distance" lyrics

"Jesus At A Distance"

I've been keeping Jesus at a distance
So afraid to let Him get too close
To the two lives I've been living
As if He couldn't see them both
Close enough to feel the warmth of the fire
Far enough away for me to hide
But I'm tired of walking the wire
Between the darkness and the light

No more Jesus at a distance
No more pushing You away
I don't wanna settle for the back row
Of some Sunday morning faith
So, I'm holding nothing back now
'Cause there's nothing You don't see
No more Jesus at a distance
Come change every part of me
Every part of me

I was offered resurrection
But I settled for the grave
I had the chance to walk on water
But I chose to play it safe
I've been hiding from the Healer
I thought my wounds were out of reach
But at the end of all my running
You're still running after me

So, no more Jesus at a distance
No more pushing You away
I don't wanna settle for the back row
Of some Sunday morning faith
So, I'm holding nothing back now
'Cause there's nothing You don't see
No more Jesus at a distance
Come change every part of me
Every part of me

Oooo, ooooo
Oooo, ooooo

All my dreams and all my treasures
(Every part of me, every part of me)
When I can barely hold it together
(Every part of me, every part of me)
When I can't control where tomorrow's going
(Every part of me, every part of me)
When the ghost of my yesterday's come calling
(Every part of me, every part of me)
Who I am when there's no one else around
(Every part of me, every part of me)
When the sun comes up, 'til the sun goes down
(Every part of me, every part of me)

So, no more Jesus at a distance
No more pushing You away
I don't wanna settle for the back row
Of some Sunday morning faith
So, I'm holding nothing back now
Causingthere's nothing You don't see
No more Jesus at a distance
Come change every part of me
Every part of me

Oooo, every part of me, every part of me
Oooo, every part of me

So, I'm holding nothing back now
Cause there's nothing you don't see
No more Jesus at a distance
Come change every part of me
No more Jesus at a distance
Come change every part of me
