Long Way To Go

I'm seeing lots of people looking sure of themselves

Never seem to say much

Feeling mighty cozy with their righteousness

But their Bible's still gathering dust

They've got a long way to go, such a long way to go

They've got a long way to go, such a long way to go

I see a lot of people working over time

Defining what grace can afford

Working at a standard they could never attain

Trying to gain their reward

They've got a long way to go, such a long way to go

Earning grace through manufactured rules

They've got a long way to go, such a long way to go

Chorus:

Till we understand the message of Christ

Till we learn to let Him work in our lives

We've got a long way to go, such a long way to go

Till we understand what love is about

Till we follow Him with never a doubt

We've got a long way to go, such a long way to go

I heard about a baby down in Galilee

Heard he had his own star

Everybody said that he was sure to succeed

But nobody knew how far

He had a long way to go, such a long way to go

Who'd of thought it'd start with swaddling clothes

He had a long way to go, such a long way to go

I heard about the garden of Gethsemane

Time to pull out and pray

They say that he was crying out in agony

"Father please take this cup away"

He had a long way to go, such a long way to go

Pure love hanging on a tree

He had a long way to go, such a long way to go

Repeat Chorus

Dreaming of the day when He will come again

See Him eye to eye

Looking for the dawning of eternity

Forever and ever with Jesus Christ

We'll have a long way to go, such a long way to go

We'll have a long way to go, such a long way to go
