Step by step, every day
He will lead us all the way;
Nothing can our hearts dismay,
While we follow, follow Jesus.
Refrain
One step at a time, you see,
Is enough for me, is enough for you!
So we’ll follow faithfully,
Follow, follow Jesus.
Step by step, all is right,
Tho’ we walk by faith, not sight;
E’en the darkness turns to light,
While we follow, follow Jesus.
Refrain
Step by step, some glad day,
Homeward we will wend our way;
Never can we go astray,
While we follow, follow Jesus.
