Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There's something in your yesterday
That's keeping you away from him
Making you believe what you've done
He won't forgive
Telling you that you're just too far
From him
But there is something he wants you
To know?
That there's no road that you can travel
To a place that's too far
[Chorus:]
He's so close he can hear you breathing
He's so near he can wipe your tears
Mend your heart, he knows it's
Been broken
He's standing with his arms wide open
For so long he's been waiting,
Everyday anticipating
For you to realize that he's so close to you
Everybody knows sometimes we all
Make mistakes
And when you try do what's right,
Wrong gets in the way
You feel you're just a failure and you
Can't forgive yourself
But God can make it better if you only
Ask for help
There's no road that you can travel
To a place that's too far
[Chorus]
There's no road that you can travel
To a place that's too far
[Chorus]
