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
