How Far --- by Tasha Layton

How Far

Lyrics:

How far is too far

I thought I’d be there by now

I followed shame to the place

I was sure Your grace ran out

So I kept running and running and running

But You kept chasing and chasing and chasing

A million miles of my mistakes

Still couldn’t keep Your love away

However far away I am from home

That’s how far Your love will go

I turn around and I see

Pure compassion in Your eyes

A Savior’s voice says to me

“Time to come back home, my child”

I came running and running and running

And You kept reaching and reaching and reaching, Lord

A million miles of my mistakes

Still couldn't keep Your love away

However far away I am from home

That’s how far Your love will go

Mercy’s arms stretched open wide

You paid it all

What kind of love lays down His life?

Willing to cross…

A million miles of my mistakes

Still couldn’t keep Your love away

However far away I am from home

That’s how far Your love will go

Oh I couldn’t keep Your love away

However far away I am from home

That’s how far Your love will go

How far Your love will go

Arms stretched open wide

That’s how far Your love will go

(How far Your love will go

How far Your love will go)

That’s how far Your love will go
