Step by step

I'm walking my way to Canaan

Step by step

Never more I'll roam

God has a plan to please us

He gave us his son Jesus

Step by step

I'm coming home



I don't know when it started

When I first heard Satan's song

When I broke my mama's heart

By starting to go wrong

But the devil was so silky smooth

That I was taken in

And step by step

I walked the path

Of wickedness and sin



Make no mistake it was plenty fun

When I first turned away

From all the good that I'd been taught

About the righteous way

But a slinky painted woman

Had her arms around my neck

And with a couple of good time buddies

I figured what the heck



I started acting cool

I started skipping school

Started making a couple of bets

Started smoking cigarettes

Repeated gossip that I heard

Started huffing a little herb

Started drinking my uncle's gin

Started lying 'bout where I'd been

Bad crowd in a local bar

Joy ride in a stolen car

Wound up in the county jail

No one 'round to make my bail



Step by step

I walked away from Jesus

Step by step

I took the wrong track

Worldly pleasure and temptation

Became empty degradation

Step by step

I'm coming back



Sitting in that lonely cell

Lost as I could be

No one left on earth

Who'd admit to knowing me

All my friends and family

Completely burned and done

My daddy's words came back to me

When he said this day would come



Then a peace came over me

And I heard a simple voice

That spoke of forgiveness

And atonement for my choice

I fell down upon my knees

And out came all my lies

And the truth of the Son of God

Was right there at my side



Got back to reality

My faults belonged to me

Got rid of the grudge

Took my medicine from the judge

Got rid of the booze and dope

Cleaned my mouth with a little soap

Got a job at the corner store

Paid my debts and a little bit more

Got a copy of the Good Book

Opened it up and I took a look

Said "Devil, I'm not your slave"

Got to church and I got saved



Step by step

I came back to Jesus

Step by step

He opened up and let me in

The promise of his love

Is the promise from above

Step by step

Satan cannot win



Do not think this means

That pain has gone away

Or that heartache and deep sorrow

Cannot visit every day

But Satan has no weapon

No arrow, knife, or sword

That can take away the love

Of Jesus Christ the Lord



Step by step

He was walking right beside us

Step by step

He was with us all the way

From the moment of our birth

He had the measure of our worth

And he's walking us home

To judgement day
