A Few More Steps Poem by Danny Speicher

Walking up the hill, cross upon your back
Will that next step be the step causing you to crack
Wanting to scream out, “Lord, where have you gone? ”
Then you see Him on that hill as dusk becomes dawn

Just a few more steps until you’re in your Father’s arms
Just a few more steps until you’re away from harm
Just a few more steps walking in that blinding light
In just a few more steps… You’re gonna be alright

Money doesn’t seem to be in your reach
Another man on the phone giving you the speech
What he doesn’t know is how you would pay it all
But, the jobs you work just can’t stop the call

Just a few more steps until you’re in your Father’s arms
Just a few more steps until you’re away from harm
Just a few more steps walking in that blinding light
In just a few more steps… You’re gonna be alright

You have lost all your hope to find your way
A loving god wouldn’t let your hurt grow each day
But, you hear Him beckoning in the dark
And, deep within you, there is that passionate spark

No matter what the road may hold
And even if the darkness falls
He sees you shivering and cold
And He’s holding you through it all

Just a few more steps until you’re in your Father’s arms
Just a few more steps until you’re away from harm
Just a few more steps walking in that blinding light
In just a few more steps… You’re gonna be alright
In just a few more steps… You’re gonna be alright
