How Far Is Heaven - Kitty Wells

I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours And I struck out across Texas, gonna walk it line to line Now I'm halfway cross New Mexico, but you're still on my mind And this road that's going nowhere just leads me on and on As I ask myself with every step will I ever be alone I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I was deep in California when I finally made a friend And it was me and that old hobo till you showed up again Then he ran out of liquor and I've run out of time I'm standing by the ocean, but you're still on my mind And I'm staring at the water so blue and deep and wide Bet a man could lose a memory over on the other side I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours

How far, is too far? I thought I'd be there by now Followed shame to the place I was sure Your grace ran out I kept running and running and running You kept chasing and chasing and chasing A million miles of my mistake Still couldn't keep Your love away How ever far away I am from home That's how far Your love will go, go I turn around and I see Pure compassion in Your eyes Savior's voice says to me "Time to come back home, my child" So I came running and running and running And You kept reaching and reaching and reaching, Lord A million miles of my mistake Still couldn't keep Your love away How ever far away I am from home That's how far Your love will go, go Mercy's arms stretched open wide You paid it all What kind of love lays down His life? Willing to cross A million miles of my mistake Still couldn't keep Your love away How ever far away I am from home That's how far Your love will go Oh, I couldn't keep Your love away How ever far away I am from home That's how far Your love will go How far Your love will go Arms stretched open wide That's how far Your love will go (How far Your love will go) (How far Your love will go) That's how far Your love will go

Hark the voice of Jesus calling come and work for him today The fields are white and the harvest falling come and work for him today You've got to walk that lonesome valley you've got to go there by yourself There's no one here can go there with you you've got to go there by yourself [ Steel ] My mother told me when she was dying just before her breath was gone My darling one put trust in Jesus for I'll leave you here alone You've got to walk... [ Steel ] Some people say he was a Baptist others say he was a Jew But the Holy Bible tells us that he was a preacher too You've got to walk...

This was both of us together Every part was joining in All like solitary feathers Move with purpose through the wind When so many of us forfeit Before we simply lose the plot This was everything I wanted And I gave everything I've got Well, there's not much that I can say To make you change your mind You drifted further every day Until the well runs dry Runs dry, runs dry, oh Was it all the complicated Making mountains out of dust Does it leave you feeling jaded I'd imagine that it does Well, there's not much that I can say To make you change your mind You drifted further every day And the well ran dry Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh There's not much that I can say To make you change your mind You drifted further every day Til the well runs dry Runs dry, runs dry Runs dry, runs

I have seen valleys, the lowest of lows I have felt heartache that would not let go I have been shaken, deep in my soul I have been broken more than you know But here I am still standing So believe me when I say If you shatter Every piece of you that's on the floor He can restore And after You'll be even stronger than before He can restore What'd shattered Nothing is wasted, there's always a plan He has a purpose you may not understand He's never been closer if you just hold on He'll take you deeper, He'll give you a song 'Cause here I am still standing So believe me when I say If you shatter Every piece of you that's on the floor He can restore And after You'll be even stronger than before He can restore What'd shattered If I am still here standing You can believe me when I say That He is more than able to redeem Your every pain If you shatter Every piece of you that's on the floor He can restore And after You'll be even stronger than before He can restore, oh If you shatter Every piece of you that's on the floor He can restore And after He will make you stronger than before I know He'll restore What'd shattered
