It S Not Far lyrics

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)

Bridge:
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
