Only a step, only a step

1.

Only a step to Jesus!
Then why not take it now?
Come, and thy sin confessing,
To Him, thy Savior, bow.

Refrain:
Only a step, only a step;
Come, He waits for thee;
Come, and thy sin confessing,
Thou shalt receive a blessing;
Do not reject the mercy He freely offers thee.

2.

Only a step to Jesus!
Believe, and thou shalt live;
Lovingly now He’s waiting,
And ready to forgive.

Refrain:
Only a step, only a step;
Come, He waits for thee;
Come, and thy sin confessing,
Thou shalt receive a blessing;
Do not reject the mercy He freely offers thee.

3.

Only a step to Jesus!
A step from sin to grace;
What has thy heart decided?
The moments fly apace!

Refrain:
Only a step, only a step;
Come, He waits for thee;
Come, and thy sin confessing,
Thou shalt receive a blessing;
Do not reject the mercy He freely offers thee.

4.

Only a step to Jesus!
O why not come and say,
"Gladly to Thee, my Savior,
I give myself away?"

Refrain:
Only a step, only a step;
Come, He waits for thee;
Come, and thy sin confessing,
Thou shalt receive a blessing;
Do not reject the mercy He freely offers thee.
