One Step at a Time

Lord, you know me.
I like knowing where I’m going.
A path that I’ve chosen.
One that I am controlling.

I know that is not Your way.
You have greater things in mind.
With You leading the way
One step at a time.

I struggle with the unknown.
My pride rises masked as fear.
My love will cast all that out
If you choose to draw near

To Me whose thoughts are higher
And are crafted to refine.
My path for you must be traveled
One step at a time.

For where I’m taking you
Will reveal life changing lessons
That testify to My love
For you as My prized possession.

I know this won’t be easy.
But I’ll be with you at your side.
For the path to restoration
Is taken one step at a time.”

Lord, please forgive me
For when I step back or grumble.
Help me to let You keep the lead
Show me how to be humble.

“All My thoughts towards you
Are for good all the time.
The journey into grace
Is taken one step at a time.

You’ll question My leading
I take no joy in your pain.
What you count as loss now
Will one day be counted as gain.

My will is good and has purpose.
Of this truth you will one day find.
Countless blessings await you
But only revealed one step at a time.

So, be strong and of good courage
For I will never leave your side.
We’ll walk this path together –
Taking it one step at a time.”
