Only One Step
Do not grieve for me my dear ones, Now that I have gone away.
I have only stepped quietly through the door, Into the dawn of a brighter day. If you could see the beauty,
Of the garden I am walking through, If you could feel the touch of His hand,
You would want to walk here too. If you could see the sunshine,
With no dark shadows lurking near, If you could know the joy supreme,
I find with my Lord so dear. Where no sorrow can never be You would be glad I slipped away, To this beautiful land of eternity Ill be watching day by day And I will ask my Father to guide you, Lest you falter along the way.
So when the day is over, And the night is drawing nigh, I pray you too, find it only a step Where walk my precious Lord and I
