Thousand Steps - NewSong

With one eye open I saw her slowing start to stand

Her trembling hands wiped her tears away

She looked so tired and broken

She never lifts her head, she softly says, I can’t make it through another day

I’m as far away from God as I can be

Is there any way that He still loves me

Can He still love me

If there were a thousand steps between you and God

And you could see no way across the great divide

Just take one step towards His loving arms

And He’ll take nine hundred and ninety-nine

He slips into the back door and he straightens up his tie

His bloodshot eyes tell of the night before

He comes here every Sunday, but his life is never changed

He’s played the game but he knows there’s something more

I’m so close but still so far away

I can’t live like this another day

Not another day

If there were a thousand steps between you and God

And you could see no way across the great divide

Just take one step towards His loving arms

And He’ll take nine hundred and ninety-nine

Maybe you think that there’s a place you can go and He won’t be there

He won’t even care

Didn’t you know that there is no depth or height to keep us from

His amazing love

If there were a thousand steps between you and God

And you could see no way across the great divide

Just take one step towards His loving arms

And He’ll take nine hundred and ninety-nine

He’ll take nine hundred and ninety-nine

Nine hundred and ninety-nine

Take one step
