Step by Step

Oh, I'm running in a race
And I'm not looking back
I know I could stumble
And I know I could fall
A prize is waiting and it's straight ahead
And a crown of gold is waiting for me

I know it's a lonely road sometimes
Many have fallen by the wayside
I gotta keep on pressing on to reach the mark
There's no turning back now
There's no place to go

Step by step
I'm going to get my reward
Step by step
He is leading me on

There are many that have died
And have finished their course
They handed down instructions
For the way to go
It seems to be a never-ending marathon
But I know that this race is not in vain

Step by step
I'm going to get my reward
Step by step
He is leading me on

Nothing comes easy
Sometimes this cross
It's so hard to bear
Lord, I surrender
So help me, help me

Well, I heard a voice crying, "Come up the hill
And I will show you the end of the race"
I ran and I ran and I fell at His feet
I knew it was over when I heard Him say
"It is finished"

Step by step
I'm going to get my reward
Step by step
He is leading me on

Step by step
I'm going to get my reward
Step by step
He is leading me on...
