Only a Step

Author: Emma Smuller Carter Hymnal: The Gospel Chorus #20 (1902) First Line: Only a step to Jesus Refrain First Line: Only a step, only a step Lyrics: 1 Only a step to Jesus! The door stands open wide, Forsake thy sin and enter in, And with thy Lord abide. This night thy soul is standing Just outside mercy’s door; Oh, hear His call, trust Christ for all, And pass the threshold o’er. Refrain: Only a step, only a step, From darkness into light, Only a step, only a step, Oh, take that step tonight. 2 Only a step to Jesus! He pleads with thee to come, Oh, enter now, before Him bow, And rest in peace at home. So near, so near to safety, So near the open door— Alas for those who see it close To open never more. [Refrain] 3 Only a step He asketh, How small a thing to do For Him who died, the Crucified, For you, for you, for you. A step to joy from sorrow, A step to peace from strife, To heav’n at last, when earth is past, A step from death to life. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Only a step to Jesus]
