The Distance

Nothing more to say, she turns to walk away
But with each step something’s calling her to stay
There’s that soft brown bear he bought on their first date
There are vows they gave each other on a silver plate

It’ll never be the same
Love is not a game
When she looks into his eyes, there’s a broken trust inside
And it’s more than she can live with
More than she knows how to forgive

But is it more than the distance between God’s love and our sin
Is it stronger than the blood that can wash away what’s been
Is it greater than the grave that had to set Him free
Or does the distance in our heart show how little we believe

As he sits and stares in her favorite chair
he starts to think about the smell of her hair
How they promised God they’d never walk away
Now it seems so odd that they can’t even pray

Can it ever be the same
Now there’s ice where there was flame
When he looks into her eyes, is there any trust inside
And it’s more than he can live with
If it’s more than she can find to forgive

But is it more than the distance between God’s love and our sin
Is it stronger than the blood that can wash away what’s been
Is it greater than the grave that had to set Him free
Or does the distance in our heart show how little we believe

Do we confess with our mouths what we mean in our hearts
Or are they just some words someone said
Is there power in His Name, is there healing in His blood
Is Jesus really risen from the dead
