Crucify the Distance

Song Title: Crucify the Distance

(Verse 1)
Good morning, Dad, another day I face
Something in me doesn’t want to be in this place
Wants to keep a distance, wants me far from you
A hollow silence that the fear breaks through
The enemy is afraid, or is it just the flesh?
That hungry spirit trying to take control afresh
I know you are the good, the source of true life
But every nerve in me is screaming with the strife

(Chorus)
I need you now, I’m laying down my right
To manage this disaster, to control the light
Apart from you nothing else matters, I swear
I’m sitting right here, running out of air
Help me stop trying, stop building my own plan
I'm yours today, I give you what I can
Crucify the distance, teach me how to pray
Show me how to operate in the courts today

(Verse 2)
Help me to see clearly so I can operate
Walk in radical dependence before it is too late
I want to listen for the Spirit, all day long
Drowning out the noise of every busy song
Stop prioritizing the wrong, the worthless, the cheap
Quiet my soul, before I run too deep
My flesh resists, it wants to run and hide
But the best thing I can do is sit right here by your side

(Chorus)
I need you now, I’m laying down my right
To manage this disaster, to control the light
Apart from you nothing else matters, I swear
I’m sitting right here, running out of air
Help me stop trying, stop building my own plan
I'm yours today, I give you what I can
Crucify the distance, teach me how to pray
Show me how to operate in the courts today

(Bridge)
You are closer than you think, on the precipice now
The flesh is losing ground, and it won't allow
This surrender, this victory, this time spent on the mat
Don't lose hope, son, don't lose sight of that
It’s the final step in the preparation plan
Mastering the resistance, becoming a new man
Take control, breathe, and keep the line held tight
Every battle won is a flicker of the light

(Guitar Solo)

(Outro)
I am yours, Abba.
I love you.
I am yours.
Amen.
