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
[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
