Chorus: Take the step, my brother, take it, Take the step and yield to God; Rise and Christ confess as Savior, Take the step and trust his word, and trust his word. 2 See the banquet hall of mercy, See thy seat that vacant stands, Think of loved ones waiting for thee, See them now with beckoning hands.

[Chorus] 4 Just a step, will you not take it, While in pray'r to God we bow, Will you not your sins forsaking, Trust in Christ, and trust him now?
