One Step Away
Lyrics
What if you could go back and relive one day of your life all over again
And unmake the mistake that left you a million miles away
From the you, you once knew
Now yesterday's shame keeps saying that you'll never get back on track
But what if I told you
You're one step away from surrender
One step away from coming home, coming home
One step from arms wide open
His love has never let you go
You're not alone
You're one step away
It doesn't matter how far you've gone
Mercy says you don't have to keep running down the road you're on
Love's never met a lost cause
Your shame, lay it down
Leave your ghosts in the past 'cause you know that you can't go back
But you can turn around
You've never been more than
One step away from surrender
One step away from coming home, coming home
One step from arms wide open
His love has never let you go
You're not alone (not alone)
You're one step away
You're one step away
Lay down, lay down your old chains
Come now, and take up your new name
Your best life up ahead now
You're one step away
Lay down, lay down your old chains
Come now, and take up your new name
Your best life up ahead now
You're one step away
Lay down, lay down your old chains
Come now, and take up your new name
Your best life up ahead now
You're one step away
So come on home, come on home
One step from arms wide open
His love has never let you go
You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're one step away
Lay down, lay down your old chains
Take up, take up your new name
Lay down, lay down your old chains
Take up, take up your new name
Lay down, lay down your old chains
Come now, take up your new name
Your best life up ahead now
One step away
Lay down, lay down your old chains
Come now, and take up your new name
Your best life up ahead now
You're just one step away
