1. Hear the sweet voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me, I am the way;”
Only A Step
Hear the sweet voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto Me, I am the way;”
Harken, the loving call obey;
Come, for He loves you so.
Only a step, only a step:
Come, for He bled for you and died;
He’s the same loving Savior yet,
Jesus the Crucified.

2. Casting your heavy burden down,
Only A Step
Casting your heavy burden down,
Come to the cross, the world may frown;
Yet you shall wear a glorious crown,
When He makes up His own.
Only a step, only a step:
Come, for He bled for you and died;
He’s the same loving Savior yet,
Jesus the Crucified.

3. Open, for you, the pearly gate; Loved ones for you now watch and wait;
Only A Step
Open, for you, the pearly gate;
Loved ones for you now watch and wait;
Terrible tho’t, to cry “too late”–
“Jesus, I come to Thee.”
Only a step, only a step:
Come, for He bled for you and died;
He’s the same loving Savior yet,
Jesus the Crucified.
