Agape Blues Company - One Step Closer Lyrics

Jesus bore the cross and I know that He died for me
Saved and sanctified when He set me free
I'm a new creation- He wiped the slate clean
I get one step closer
To the man that I'm trying to be

People glorify the world but they can't pay the heavy cost
Everything I have is counted as a loss
Compared to knowing that Christ is my Boss
I get one step closer
To the man that I'm trying to be

Jesus lived a life of truth and might
I want to lead like Him I want to do what's right
Men of the world let's start today
Take up your cross and follow His way

The devil keeps tryin' to get me to take his bait
I'll stick with the One who's the author of my faith
Who eases my burdens and makes my path straight
I get one step closer
To the man that I'm trying to be
