Then why not take it now ?
Come, and thy sin confessing,
To Him, thy Saviour, bow.
Only a step ! only a step !
Come, He waits for thee ;
Come, and thy sin confessing,
Thou shalt receive a blessing :
Do not reject the mercy
He freely offers thee.
2 Only a step to Jesus !
Believe, and thou shalt live ;
Lovingly now He's waiting,
And ready to forgive.
3 Only a step to Jesus !
A step from sin to grace ;
What has thy heart decided ?
The moments fly apace.
4 Only a step to Jesus !
Oh, why not come, and say-
Gladly to Thee, my Saviour,
I give myself away ?
