Just Take One Step
If you’ve wandered far away
Don’t know where to start today
Take one step
You don’t have to see ahead
Little actions conquer dread
Take one step
If you cannot see the light
Ask the Lord to guide you right
Take one step
Take the step you see right now
More will open up somehow
Take one step
When your strength and hope are gone
And you feel you can’t go on
Take one step
When your way is dark with fear
And your prospects seem unclear
Take one step
As you go you’ll surely find
God sends help because He’s kind
Take one step
Draw a little closer in
Just say no to one more sin
Take one step
Step by step you’re nearing home
From wherever you may roam
Take one step
Let God show you where to go
Trust His love as best you know
Take one step
Take the step that you can see
Oh, don’t wait to come be free
Take one step

Free to Live as Victors
These my people are forgiven
All their sins are washed away;
With my blood I bought their pardon,
Now there’s nothing more to pay.
All their guilt and condemnation,
All the wrath and bitter shame,
All their sin I took and canceled
When they called upon my Name.
Now they’re free to live as victors
Free from sin and death and fear,
Partners in my life eternal
With a record pure and clear.
Though the tempter may accuse them,
Seek to fill their minds with doubt,
Nothing stands to block their access –
All their sin is blotted out.
While I live, they’re heirs of heaven,
Kept and guided by my love;
Robed in white they’ll live forever
In their home of light above.

Come, see! The God of heaven
Is walking on this earth;
The angels He created
Announce His humble birth.
Come, see! The God of heaven
Is healing blind and lame
And making friends of outcasts
Who call upon His Name.
Come, see! The God of heaven
Is dying on the tree –
The innocent found guilty
To pardon you and me.
Come, see! The God of heaven
Is rising from the grave
Exalted and triumphant
To prove His pow’r to save.
Come, see! The God of heaven
Ascending to His throne
To intercede forever
For those He calls His own.
Come, see! The God of heaven
Is coming back to reign
With all His saints who follow
Exultant in His train.
Come, see! The God of heaven
Is making all things new.
Our King and our Redeemer
We bring our praise to You!

Since Jesus Rose for Me
When Jesus rose in victory
It proved His work was done,
The debt for sin was paid in full,
And righteousness had won.
The check had cleared, the debt was gone,
My sin was washed away,
No wrath remained, no claim was owed –
He did it all that day.
And now I stand in Christ by grace
Complete, forgiven, free;
I’m justified and uncondemned
Since Jesus rose for me.

The Simple Things
It’s sometimes just the simple things
That mean so much to me –
Their value lies in deeper worth
Than other folks can see.
They represent the precious things
The Lord has kindly done,
The ways He’s taught me of Himself
And battles He has won.
They help me think of special times
With those I dearly love,
Of moments spent alone with God
And blessings from above.
Each time I think of what they mean,
They bring a smile or tear –
They’re full of cherished memories
These simple things so dear.

O Lord who brought Your people out
With strong and mighty hand
From Egypt’s bondage through the sea
To Canaan’s fruitful land,
O Lord who brought Your people back
With true forgiving grace
From years of long captivity
To find their promised place,
O Lord who brought Your people life
With sacrificial love
From fear of death to living hope
Of endless years above,
O Lord who’ll bring Your people home
With joy and trumpet blast
From sin and pain set free to reign
In perfect peace at last,
O Lord of strength and grace and love
Whose glory fills the sky,
Direct our steps as in those days
To lift Your Name on high.
