06 Eric Hollingsworth - One Step at a Time
Matthew 16:24, Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
I'm a born again Christian writing music that (I hope) encourages and ministers to the body of Christ.
Story behind the song
This song is about how people sometimes respond to a believer when they profess faith in Christ. Sometimes its hard to watch friends walk away because they can't understand the change that God makes in a person's life.
Lyrics
ONE STEP AT A TIME
Words and Music by: Eric J. Hollingsworth
INTRO: E, B, A, B, E, B, A, B
VERSE 1:
E B A
Why is it every time I share the Word
E B A
It seems like I’m talking to a brick wall
E B A
What do I have to do to get heard
E B A
Seems like I’m bearing no fruit at all
CHORUS 1:
F# C# B
They call me a freak and say I’ve lost my mind
F# B, C#
Then they mock and laugh at me
F# C#, B
They turn their backs and they pass me by
F# B C#
And I’m left to carry this cross one step at a time
VERSE 2:
E B, A
My old friends say that I’ve gone overboard
E B, A
Talking about needing salvation
E B, A
My heartfelt pleas always go ignored
E B, A
They roll their eyes in aggravation
CHORUS 1:
F# C# B
They call me a freak and say I’ve lost my mind
F# B, C#
Then they mock and laugh at me
F# C#, B
They turn their backs and they pass me by
F# B C#
And I’m left to carry this cross one step at a time
BRIDGE: E, B, A, B, E, B, A, B
I’m a Jesus freak and that suits me this fine
This world’s opinion doesn’t faze me
‘Till His Kingdom comes or the day I die
I’ll gladly carry this cross one step at a time
CHORUS 1:
F# C# B
So call me a freak and say I’ve lost my mind
F# B, C#
And then mock and laugh at me
F# C#, B
Turn your backs and then pass me by
F# B C#
Leave me to carry this cross one step at a time
E, B, A, B, E, B, A, B, E, B, A, B
One step at a time
