Newsong - Thousand Steps lyrics

With one eye open I saw her slowly 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 toward 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 And I'm so close but still so far away And 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 toward His loving arms And He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine Yeah, 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 And He won't even care Didn't you know that there's no depth or height to keep us from His amazing love? And if there were a thousand steps between you and God And you could see no way 'cross the great divide Then just take one step toward His loving arms And He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine Yeah, He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine Nine hundred and ninety-nine Take one step, take one step He'll cross the great divide Nine hundred and ninety-nine Nine hundred and ninety-nine Nine hundred and ninety-nine
