                 C         G
I been keepin' Jesus at a distance
              C               G
So afraid to let Him get too close
            C              G
To the two lives I've been livin'
          Em                D
As if He couldn't see them both
                 C                      G
Close enough to feel the warmth of the fire
             C             G
Far enough away for me to hide
         C                    G
But I'm tired of walkin' the wire
             Em               D
Between the darkness and the light

Chorus:
         C          G
No more Jesus at a distance
         Em           D
No more pushin' You away
               C              G
I don't wanna settle for the back road
        Em              D
Of some Sunday mornin' faith
         C               G
So, I'm holdin' nothin' back now
               D                 Em
'Cause there' nothin' You don't see
         C          G
No more Jesus at a distance
            D              G
Come change every part of me
                  C  G  Em  D
Every part of me (oooh, oooh)

I was offered resurrection,
but I settled for the grave
I had the chance to walk on water,
but I chose to play it safe
I've been hiding from the Healer,
I thought my wounds were out of reach
But at the end of all my runnin',
You're still runnin' after me

Chorus:
So, no more Jesus at a distance,
no more pushin' You away
I don't wanna settle for
the back row of some Sunday mornin' faith
So, I'm holdin' nothin' back now,
'cause there' nothin' You don't see
No more Jesus at a distance,
come change every part of me
Every part of me

        Am                 G
All my dreams and all my treasures
               Em                 D
(Every part of me, every part of me)
            Am               G
When I can barely hold it together
               Em                 D
(Every part of me, every part of me)
              Am                      G
When I can't control where tomorrow's goin'
                Em               D
(Every part of me, every part of me)
          Am                           G
When the ghost of my yesterday's come callin'
              Em                 D
(Eery part of me, every part of me)
                      Am            G
Who I am when there's no one else around
                Em                D
(Every part of me, every part of me)
                   Am                    G
When the sun comes up 'til the sun goes down
                Em                D
(Every part of me, every part of me)

Chorus:
So, no more Jesus at a distance,
no more pushin' You away
I don't wanna settle for
the back row of some Sunday mornin' faith
So I'm holdin' nothin' back now,
'cause there' nothin' You don't see
No more Jesus at a distance,
come change every part of me
Every part of me, every part of me
 (Every part of me)
Every part of me

So I'm holdin' nothin' back now,
'cause there' nothin' You don't see
No more Jesus at a distance,
come change every part of me
No more Jesus at a distance,
come change every part of me
