Tabernacle Praises No. 1 ‎#33

33. Only a Step

1 How far to the Saviour of men can it be?
Only a step, Only a step;
How far from your bondage until you are free?
Only a step, Only a step.

Refrain:
Only a step, you may take it now;
Only a step, at His feet to bow,
Out of your sin to the smile of His face,
It’s only a step to Jesus.

2 How far to the goal where all doubting shall cease?
Only a step, Only a step;
How far from the heartache to infinite peace?
Only a step, Only a step. [Refrain]

3 How far to the day from the valley of night?
Only a step, Only a step;
How far from the darkness to glorious light?
Only a step, Only a step. [Refrain]

4 How far to the rapture he gives to the blest?
Only a step, Only a step;
How far till no burdens can rob us of rest?
Only a step, Only a step. [Refrain]
