One Step Closer (Classic Country Spiritual)

Verse 1

Dust

On my boots

The red clay sticks

Walking a path of jagged bricks

One step

From the sulfur smell

Down there

In that hungry mine hell

Chorus

One step closer (one step closer)

I am one step closer (one step closer)

Can't wait til we meet (Meet Jesus)

Can't wait til we meet (meet God)

Two steps to the golden gate (two steps)

Watching for the morning light (waiting, watching)

Lord I follow you tonight (Follow you tonight)

I follow you every night (Oh, every night)

Post-Chorus

Oh oh (oh Glory))

Higher ground (glory, glory)

Oh oh (oh Glory)

Lost and found (glory, glory)

Verse 2

I listen

For the sound

Of your soft voice

Making the only righteous choice

Heavy load

But I won't bow

Not now

I keep my hand on the plow

Keep my hand on the plow

Living for the king

Chorus

One step closer (one step closer)

I am one step closer (one step closer)

Can't wait til we meet (Meet Jesus)

Can't wait til we meet (meet God)

Two steps to the golden gate (two steps)

Watching for the morning light (waiting, watching)

Lord I follow you tonight (Follow you tonight)

I follow you every night (Oh, every night)

Post-Chorus

Oh oh (oh Glory))

Higher ground (glory, glory)

Oh oh (oh Glory)

Lost and found (glory, glory)

Bridge

I see the finish line (oh the finish line)

I see the water turn to wine (water into wine)

I see the mercy in your eyes (sweet mercy)

The truth inside the lies

I am coming home (glory glory)

I am coming home (glory glory)

No more will I roam (I'm coming home)

Harmonica Solo

Chorus

One step closer (one step closer)

I am one step closer (one step closer)

Can't wait til we meet (Meet Jesus)

Can't wait til we meet (meet God)

Two steps to the golden gate (two steps)

Watching for the morning light (waiting, watching)

Lord I follow you tonight (Follow you tonight)

I follow you every night (Oh, every night)

Post-Chorus

Oh oh (oh Glory))

Higher ground (glory, glory)

Oh oh (oh Glory)

Lost and found (glory, glory)

Outro

oh, oh (oh oh)

Almost there (almost there)

Walking on air (walking on air)

One step closer (one step closer)

Just one step (just one step)

Someday soon (someday soon)

We will meet (we will meet)

Meet In Glory (Glory glory)

Glory Glory

Amen (Amen)
