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
