It's Not Far · letra

My dad seemed ten feet tall When I was just a kid And if you asked me who my hero was I'd quickly tell you it was him He must have had a thousand stories I must have heard a million times But I'll never forget as long as I live Us kneeling down that day Him teaching me to pray (he said)

Chorus:

It's not far from here to Jesus His loving arms are open wide Close your eyes and he will lead you Safely to his side There's no need for you to fear him You can trust him with your heart And it's not far It's not far
I couldn't help but wonder how the years have gone so fast With every breath dad fought to take I knew could be his last And as we gathered round his bedside And fumbled through what we would say I bowed my head and began to cry And whispered in his ear My last goodbye (and said)

Chorus

There is no distance From the love of God He's always there to hear our prayer And answer when we call

Chorus

From here to Jesus It's not far It's not far from here to Jesus It's not far from here It's not far from here to Jesus It's not far It's not far It's not far from here It's not far from here to jesus It's not far from here
