Just to take one step towards YOU, LORD
It is just one step
When we forget our-self
And consider another;
Just one step
When we reach further
To feel and console another in pain;
LORD, it is taking just one step YOUR WAY.
It is just one step
When we forgive the hurt
The wrongs done;
Just one step in fellowship
With YOU, our Messiah.
It is just taking one step towards loving,
Loving YOU through loving others.
Just one step in humility
To acknowledge our weaknesses
And repent our sinfulness;
Brings a deeper understanding of CALVARY;
Of a Righteous GOD’S loving compassion
Sending HIS HOLY SON, JESUS CHRIST to die for our sins
Bringing about reconciliation.
Yet we need YOUR help, LORD
In every step forward we make
We need wisdom, love and strength
For each new step we take.
It is alien to human nature, LORD
To be self-giving
Without demanding
Something in return;
The other cheek turning
Instead of retaliating;
Yet this conduct is what we should be aspiring to
As Christians, GOD’S will following.
Let us, with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT
Take that vital step
To renew our faith;
To take that one step
To do what HE saith,
Take up the cross and follow HIM.
Increased faith leads to holiness
Be holy as your Father in Heaven is holy
Our Lord admonishes;
Pushing through the darkness, following Christ’s light
Every Christian has to depend on God’s might,
To glimpse a vision of eternity.
