A Close Distance

[00:13.57] I can't put you in a box
[00:15.06] Why would I try?
[00:16.87] I ain't got enough words in my stash to describe
[00:19.76] I'm just down here on the earth
[00:22.32] Lookin at the sky
[00:23.41] Observin the distance that exists between You and I
[00:26.85] How are You so high?
[00:29.44] And so low?
[00:30.78] Down here wit me
[00:31.75] Yet you're light years beyond the globe
[00:33.59] They must turn around(on you)
[00:36.22] Cause they don't know How do you turn your back
[00:37.78] On something that beautiful?
[00:40.94] So distant Yet close
[00:42.48] I never bought the lie they was sellin
[00:43.55] I'd rather eat the truth
[00:44.83] From the tree of life
[00:46.17] Not the forbidden fruit
[00:47.07] The two were in the same vicinity
[00:48.25] And the enemy knew
[00:50.96] Then innocence became a memory
[00:52.96] And Adam was removed
[00:54.45] Then The Lord revoked their access
[00:56.06] To that life-givin juice
[00:57.62] Until plenty years later when
[00:59.49] Christ was re-introduced
[01:01.03] And now those who partake
[01:02.85] Are the ones that hunger for the truth
[01:04.44] That the Lord
[01:05.99] Within in His mercy gave the world a round two
[01:08.04] Now who you know would do something like dat?
[01:10.92] Who show that much love?
[01:12.24] I'm hustling everlasting life packs
[01:14.10] Let me give you my plug
[01:15.68] I'm from the mud
[01:17.27] I was on the concrete covered in blood
[01:19.02] Seconds away from complete separation from above
[01:22.43] I know you good God
[01:24.02] All the way from Heaven to my hood God
[01:26.31] Saved me from a weapon being stretched in my direction
[01:29.59] Cause You closer
[01:30.51] Than I notice even when you're at a distance
[01:32.73] Your love and disposition counteracting my resistance
[02:01.87] Events millenniums ago will have to bless me now
[02:07.35] If I could lasso clouds and pull to bring me heaven down
[02:11.02] Or sprout wings through space suits of spirit essence gowns
[02:14.62] His blood would be the tsunami that made my efforts down
[02:17.88] And prove to be the only means by which I'm heaven bound
[02:21.29] His innocence in my defense is how I am aloud
[02:24.10] Of him to shroud me by His presence in which sinners bow
[02:28.03] Not after heaven, but my Jesus deep within the crowd
[02:31.46] Seated in places far beyond the flesh's here and now
[02:35.36] But yet we wait to leave in bodies that ascend from ground
[02:38.79] Maybe that's why my cup runs over but I'm still thirsty
[02:42.32] Satisfied but I'm drinking e'ry day, early
[02:45.28] A close distance, not arrived, late, still early
[02:48.98] Clean, real dirty Vile, but I feel worthy
[02:52.06] My flesh a burden and a veil
[02:54.63] But I can see clearly
[02:55.93] By the spirit Jesus is in Heaven
[02:57.54] Yet He's still near me
[03:03.87]
