You tried to run so that no one could desert you
Always looking for the perfect place to hide
You build up walls so that no one could ever hurt you
And yet the loneliness made you cryBridges all burned
And no where to turn
But to HeavenMiles and miles away
Love saw you there
Stretched out His hand to reach you
Across the lonely ocean of your tearsAnd He'll walk upon the waves
If that's what it takes to save you
Love doesn't have the heart to stay
Miles and miles awayHe has the grace to cover any distance
Always looking for the lost and weary soul
And though He never stops offering forgiveness
And to the one to run, a welcome homeSorrow, no more
And Jesus is Lord
Down from HeavenMiles and miles away
Love saw you there
He stretched out His hand to reach you
Across the lonely ocean of your tearsAnd He'll walk upon the waves
If that's what it takes to save you
Love doesn't have the heart to stay
Miles and miles awayThrough the day or night
Day or life, could ever separate us
From the love the spans the agesMiles and miles away
Love saw you there
He stretched out His hand to reach you
Across the lonely ocean of your tearsAnd He'll walk upon the waves
If that's what it takes to save you
Love doesn't have the heart to stayMiles and miles away
Love saw you there
He stretched out His hand to reach you
Even through the lonely ocean of your tearsAnd He'll walk upon the waves
If that's what it takes to save you
Love doesn't have the heart to stay
Miles and miles awayMiles and miles away
Miles and miles away
