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

chorus:
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.

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

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

Only a step to Jesus!
O why not come and say,
“Gladly to Thee my Savior,
I give myself away.”
- Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby
  (1820-1915), 1873
