Long Way to Go

I'm seeing lots of people looking sure of themselves
Never seem to say much
They're feeling mighty cozy with their righteousness
But their Bible's still gathering dust

They got a long way to go
Such a long way to go
They got a long way to go
Such a long way to go

I'm seeing lots of people working overtime
They're finding what grace cannot afford
Working at a standard they can never attain
Trying to gain the reward

They got a long way to go
Such a long way to go
Earning places to manufactured rules
They got a long way to go
Such a long way to go

'Til we understand the message of Christ
'Til we learn to let Him work in our lives
We got a long way to go
Such a long way to go
'Til we understand what love is about
'Til we follow Him with never a doubt
We got a long way to go

I heard about a baby down in Galilee
Heard He had His own style
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 have thought a star was 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 said that He was crying out in agony
"Father, please make this cup away"

He had a long way to go
Such a long way to go
Pure love hanging on a tree
We got a long way to go
Such a long way to go

'Til we understand the message of Christ
'Til we learn to let Him work in our lives
We got a long way to go
Such a long way to go
'Til we understand what love is about
'Til we follow Him with never a doubt
We got a long way to go

Dreaming of the day when He will come again
Seeing 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 got a long way
Such a long way
Still we got a long way
Such a long way
Such a long way
Such a long way to go
