so close that we can not escape
so far above that we can't stand
the reaching up that never ends
who can ever make reply
who can try to reason why
and who can ever make
this separation end
there is no one who understands
there is no one to go between
we're reaching out
but falling short
this longing empty fills our lives
we need a man who knows of god
a god who comes to go between
a loving priest to make amends
before you Lord, oh who can stand?
the perfect man, a living way
to know the heights and dive the depths
to come full close and reach our hearts
to fully close our separation
and to end our condemnation
you have met the Lord's decrees
you have made our souls go free
still i can not make reply
you are Holy, Christ on high
now we stand before the throne
joined in you, completely home.
