Away in the distance
That bright and shining light
The one that leads me home
Is now coming to my sight

Away in the distance
The truth is always there
The one that shows me what to do
With tender, loving care.

Away in the distance
But always with us is
The one true source we need,
The powerful love of His.

Away in the distance
Far off it seems to be
But it's always right within us
If only we choose to see.
