Jesus At A Distance by Casting Crowns

August 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Verse 1

I been keepin' Jesus at a distance
So afraid to let Him get too close
To the two lives I've been livin'
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 walkin' the wire
Between the darkness and the light

Chorus

No more Jesus at a distance
No more pushin' You away
I don't wanna settle for the back road
Of some Sunday mornin' faith
So I'm holdin' nothin' back now
'Cause there' nothin' You don't see
No more Jesus at a distance
Can change every part of me
Every part of me

Verse 2

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 runnin'
You're still runnin' after me

Chorus

No more Jesus at a distance
No more pushin' You away
I don't wanna settle for the back road
Of some Sunday mornin' faith
So I'm holdin' nothin' back now
'Cause there' nothin' You don't see
No more Jesus at a distance
Can change every part of me
Every part of me

Bridge 1

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

Bridge 2

When I can't control
Where tomorrow's goin'
Every part of me
Every part of me
When the ghost of
My yesterday's come callin'
Every part of me
Every part of me

Bridge 3

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

Chorus

No more Jesus at a distance
No more pushin' You away
I don't wanna settle for the back road
Of some Sunday mornin' faith
So I'm holdin' nothin' back now
'Cause there' nothin' You don't see
No more Jesus at a distance
Can change every part of me
Every part of me

Outro

So I'm holdin' nothin' back now
'Cause there' nothin' You don't see
No more Jesus at a distance
Can change every part of me

No more Jesus at a distance
Can change every part of me
