Jon Sergott - Take Another Step

What if I gave it all?
What if I laid it on the line?
What if I built your house, instead of worrying so much about mine?

What if I walked right through this wall as if it wasn't even there?
What if I scaled this mountain with just one leap into the air?
Step off the edge of this cliff as if I believed I could fly
And take another step
Take another step
Take another step
Take another step closer to you
Closer to you

How did we get this far?
How'd it ever come to this?
Alone out in the far country, there must be something I missed

What if I turned around right now and set my face like flint?
Ignore the accuser inside of me who's been preventing it?
Close my eyes to the rage inside and break off in a sprint
And take another step
Take another step
Take another step
Take another step closer to you
Closer to you

The cords that bind us seem so strong, but they're just shredded, feathery things
The cries that pour out from our weary mouths are just the songs of praise we sing
The drops of blood poured out into the world are merely so many seeds
Seeds deep into the ground - to grow better things
To grow better things

What if help is on the way?
What if we're not alone?
What if the open hand outstretched is as wounded as our own?

Look into the moldy cavern of my shame and my sin
See the privileged place of grace that I can meet him in
Gonna take the hand of mercy and let my new life begin
And take another step
Take another step
Take another step
Take another step closer to you
Closer to you
Closer to you
Closer to you
Closer to you
