Text:Only a Step
Author:George W. Whitcomb
Tune:[How far to the Saviour of men can it be]
Composer:D. B. Towner

5. 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 Cross to bow,
Out of your sin to the smile of His face,
Only a step, O marvelous grave.

2 How far from bad habits ‘till kept in God’s will?
Only a step, only a step.
How far ‘till a heaven your sad heart will fill?
Only a step, only a step. [Refrain]

3 How far to the rapture he gives to the blest?
Only a step, only a step.
How far ‘till no burdens can rob you of rest?
Only a step, only a step. [Refrain]
