"You don't know just how far
Away from home I've been"
She said, as she looked into my eyes
"Could it be I've strayed beyond
Mercy's outstretched hand
And now His grace no longer stoops
To hear my cry
You see, I just wanna know
Tell me how far will He go
Will He still reach for me
Inspite of where I've been"
And I told her

[chorus]
He'll do whatever, whatever it takes
His grace reaches lower than your worst mistakes
And His love will run farther
Than you can run away, my friend
He'll do whatever, whatever it takes
He'll do whatever it takes

I've heard His love is patient
That He always hears a prayer
And that His love will follow you
Despite the miles
My best years of life I wasted
Why would He even really care
What have I to give
That He would find worthwhile
You see I just wanna know
Tell me how far will He go
Will He still reach for me
Inspite of who I am
Let me tell you

[chorus]

He'll just keep reaching
Until He finds a way to bring you back
Where you belong
Come on back home

[chorus]
