Lyrics

I’ve been keeping Jesus at a distance 


So afraid to let Him get too close 


To the two lives I’ve been living 


As if He couldn’t see them both 


Close enough to feel the warmth of the fire 


Far enough away for me to hide 


But I’m tired of walking the wire 


Between the darkness and the light 


No more Jesus at a distance 


No more pushing You away 


I don’t wanna settle for the back row 


Of some Sunday morning faith 


So I’m holding nothing back now 


Causing there’s nothing You don’t see 


No more Jesus at a distance 


Come change every part of me 


Every part of me 


I was offered resurrection 


But I settled for the grave 


I had the chance to walk on water 


But I chose to play it safe 


I’ve been hiding from the Healer 


I thought my wounds were out of reach 


But at the end of all my running 


You’re still running after me 


So no more Jesus at a distance 


No more pushing You away 


I don’t wanna settle for the back row 


Of some Sunday morning faith 


So I’m holding nothing back now 


Causing there’s nothing You don’t see 


No more Jesus at a distance 


Come change every part of me 


Every part of me 


Oooo, ooooo 


Oooo, ooooo 


All my dreams and all my treasures 


(Every part of me, every part of me) 


When I can barely hold it together 


(Every part of me, every part of me) 


When I can’t control where tomorrow’s going 


(Every part of me, every part of me) 


When the ghost of my yesterdays come calling 


(Every part of me, every part of me) 


Who I am when there’s no one else around 


(Every part of me, every part of me) 


When the sun comes up, til the sun goes down 


(Every part of me, every part of me) 


So no more Jesus at a distance 


No more pushing You away 


I don’t wanna settle for the back row 


Of some Sunday morning faith 


So I’m holding nothing back now 


Causing there’s nothing You don’t see 


No more Jesus at a distance 


Come change every part of me 


Every part of me 


Oooo, every part of me, every part of me 


Oooo, every part of me 


So I’m holding nothing back now 


Cause there’s nothing you don’t see 


No more Jesus at a distance 


Come change every part of me 


No more Jesus at a distance 


Come change every part of me
