David Phelps - Miles And Miles Away Lyrics

Words and music by Sam Mizell &
Steve Siler

You tried to run so that no one could desert you,
Always looking for the perfect place to hide.
You build up walls so that no one could ever hurt you.
And yet the loneliness made you cry.
Bridges all burned, nowhere to turn but to heaven.

Miles and miles away,
Love saw you there and stretched out His hand to reach you,
Across the lonely ocean of your tears.
And He’ll walk upon the waves if that’s what it takes to save you.
Love doesn’t have the heart to stay miles and miles away.

He has the grace to cover any distance,
Always looking for the lost and weary soul.
No, no He never stops offering forgiveness,
And to the wanderer a welcome home.
So roam no more.
Jesus is Lord, down from Heaven.

Miles and miles away,
Love saw you there and stretched out His hand to reach you,
Across the lonely ocean of your tears.
And He’ll walk upon the waves if that’s what it takes to save you.
Love doesn’t have the heart to stay miles and miles away.

Neither day or night,
Death or life could ever separate us from
The love that spans the ages.

Miles and miles away,
Love saw you there and stretched out His hand to reach you,
Across the lonely ocean of your tears.
And He’ll walk upon the waves if that’s what it takes to save you.
Love doesn’t have the heart to stay miles and miles away.

Miles and miles away.
Miles and miles away.
