Story behind the song
Written after our daughter made her trip to the front of the church. Almost knocked me down on her way.
Lyrics
The First Step
Verse 1:
This song is for the last one, who stands here today.
One who needs Jesus, in a special way.
I have been where you now stand.
Just take the first step. Christ holds out his hand.
Verse 2:
The first step is the hardest; the Lord points the way
The devil has told you, wait for one more day.
Speak His name. I know you can.
Just take the first step. Christ holds out his hand.
Chorus:
Come to the Father and learn of his love
Come to the Father; hope soars like a dove.
Build on a rock, not shifting sand.
Just take the first step. Christ holds out his hand.
Verse 3:
Oh, why do you linger, why do you delay
You know he is waiting; he’s calling today.
It is time, part of the plan
Just take the first step. Christ holds out his hand.
Tag:
Just take the first step…………Christ holds out his hand.
