[00:00.00]Matt Redman
[00:00.00]”How Far”
[00:10.55]
[00:14.42]In Nazareth of Galilee
[00:19.42]An angel speaks the sacred words
[00:24.23]”Mary you will be with child”
[00:29.23]The miracle of virgin birth
[00:34.78]
[00:38.71]Joseph heeds the angels sign
[00:43.09]And takes her as his promised wife
[00:47.84]Now through the night they journey on
[00:52.78]How far is it to Bethlehem?
[00:58.09]Wise men plan their course ahead
[01:02.78]Searching for the promised King
[01:07.28]Now from the east a guiding star
[01:12.15]How far is it to Bethlehem?
[01:15.86]
[01:17.36]How far
[01:21.74]How far
[01:26.49]To the place . . . where hope was born?
[01:33.11]
[01:36.05]The walls outside Jerusalem
[01:40.24]O see the mount of Calvary!
[01:44.86]There, lifted high upon a cross
[01:49.55]The Savior of humanity
[01:54.36]He conquered sin and buried shame
[01:58.86]Rose to life and burst the grave
[02:03.67]Forever bridged the great divide
[02:08.36]With perfect grace and sacrifice
[02:12.42]
[02:13.67]How far
[02:17.92]How far
[02:22.55]Love has come . . . to bring us home
[02:29.11]
[02:45.99]How far they went to Bethlehem
[02:50.24]How far You went for Calvary
[02:54.86]No greater grace was ever known
[02:59.67]No greater love was ever seen
[03:04.49]We set our hearts on pilgrimage
[03:08.92]We’re caught up in Your story too
[03:13.55]From Bethlehem to Calvary
[03:18.42]Our hearts will always follow You
[03:22.05]
[03:23.61]How far
[03:28.05]How far
[03:32.61]Savior lead us to Your heart
[03:37.49]How far
[03:41.92]How far
[03:46.74]Jesus lead . . . us to Your heart
[03:53.40]
Outro
