Taking One Small Step

   Taking one small step,

knowing there's love at the end.

How do I endure talking?

How do I feel secure?

How do I throw away the hurts

from my youth?

Taking a big leap forward,

knowing God will not let me fall.

Will I show myself under a microscope

and fear my flaws are indelible?

Will I hide my true face,

not knowing what it looks like?

Will I let myself cry and

welcome the comforting hand of my love?

                        Running far ahead,

there's no fear about where I'll end.

My God will lead my love and me

on a righteous journey.

I will be embraced and will open my heart

to the bounty of love found.

I will gratify my Lord with the sacrifice

of following His will.

I will start by taking one small step.
