Matt Redman — How Far

[Verse 1] In Nazareth of Galilee An angel speaks the sacred words Mary you will be with child The miracle of virgin birth Joseph heeds the angel sign And takes her as his promised wife Now through the night they journey on How far is it to Bethlehem? Wise men plan their course ahead Searching for the promised King Now from the east a guiding star How far is it to Bethlehem? [Chorus 1] How far, how far, to the place where hope was born? [Verse 2] The walls outside Jerusalem O see the mount of Calvary There lifted high upon a cross The Saviour of humanity He conquered sin and buried shame Rose to life and burst the grave Forever bridged the great divide With perfect grace and sacrifice [Chorus 2] How far, how far love has come to bring us home [Verse 3] How far they went to Bethlehem How far you went for Calvary! No greater grace was ever known No greater love was ever seen We set our hearts on pilgrimage We’re caught up in Your story too From Bethlehem to Calvary Our hearts will always follow You [Chorus 3] How far, how far, Saviour lead us to Your heart How far, how far, Jesus lead us to Your heart O Jesus lead us to Your heart
