Ta-ta-take one step

You made a step in the right direction
A step that's gonna pull you through
The choice was yours
To reach up for perfection
A crown of righteousness is laying up for you

Your walk is fresh
You're movin', oh, so steady
You feel you really cannot lose
There's a detour, for this you were not ready
And now you start to cry the blues

You may be tempted to turn around
Instead of the sidelines
Face up to the bad times
Gird yourself and get ready
This is what you've gotta do

Takе one step after anothеr
In order to fortify and maintain strength
You gotta take it one step after the other
There is a good reason why
We know that you, you're gonna make it
One step after the other
You've got to take up your cross
There's no way you can fake it
One step after the other
That's how you take it
One step after another
There will be days you will soar with eagles
And there will be some valleys low
We're here to let you know your pace is legal
Although it seems that
You are movin' way too slow

You may be tempted to pull out
Don't think of retreating
It's your life you'll be cheating
Gird yourself and get ready
Take heed to what we're tellin' you
Oh-whoa...

So you say this is it
And you feel like you must quit
And get off of this road that you've taken
Although heavy the load
On this long narrow road
Let me tell you, you're never forsaken

Just get yourself together
Like we told you once before
You may have lost the battle
But you will not lose the war
Just be filled up with the Spirit
Know that God will bring you through
Say to yourself I'm gonna be ready
And this is what you're gonna do
Take one step after another
In order to fortify and maintain strength
You gotta take it one step after the other
There is a good reason why
We know that you, you're gonna make it
One step after another
Hey, you have to carry your cross
There's no way you can fake it
One step after another
That's how you do it
One step after another, yeah

One step after another
Hey, in order to fortify and maintain strength
You gotta take it one step after the other
There is a good reason why
We know that you, you're gonna make it
Hey, one step after another
You have to carry your cross
There's no way you can fake it
Hey, one step after another
That's how you do it
One step after another
Yeah, yeah...
