Lyrics

Some people see a mountain, vast and grand and cold
And think that that's a metaphor for God
Too high to climb to, too big to hold you

Some people see the starlight, lovely yet remote
And imagine heaven floating up there too
And some mysterious God in that fair land
Impossible to reach or understand

But He's not far, He's not far
He's closer than the beating of your heart
He's not far, He's not far
When you think you've reached the end
He's where you are.
He's not far.

Now if you have been running on and on for years and years
And think your road is miles and miles from home
You might be surprised to turn around
And find you're just one step from being found

But He's not far, He's not far
He's closer than the beating of your heart
He's not far, He's not far
When you think you've reached the end
He's where you are.

He's closer than your breath
Closer than your skin
Closer than your dreams of what your life might have been
Closer than a prayer whispered from a desperate heart,
And He's whispering back, "Child, come as you are."
He's not far...

But He's not far, He's not far
He's closer than the beating of your heart
He's not far, He's not far
When you think you've reached the end
He's where you are.
Standing with a smile and open arms
He's not far.
