  *++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."\\
\\
