Only a step to the Sav­ior,
Sinners, why tar­ry so long?
Only a step; He is wait­ing,
Come join the glo­ri­fied throng.

Refrain

Only a step, on­ly a step,
Only a step to the cru­ci­fied One;
Only a step to God’s on­ly Son,
Only a step to Je­sus.

Only a step; will you take it,
Out of the dark­ness to light?
Angels will car­ry the tid­ings,
If you re­ceive Him to­night.

Refrain

Only a step; come and take it,
Pillow your head on His breast;
He will, if on­ly you’ll trust Him,
Give you sweet rest, hap­py rest.

Refrain

Only a step; He is call­ing,
Prodigal child­ren, come home.
Why will you tar­ry in dark­ness?
In Heav’n there’s rest and there’s room.
