Verse 1
Lord, these boots got holes worn through,
And this road’s been harder than I ever knew,
I’ve carried pain I never spoke,
Smiled through hurt while my whole heart broke.
There were nights I sat in that old truck seat,
Hands on the wheel, just staring at my feet,
Wondering if I had anything left inside,
Or if this was where my spirit died.
Chorus
But You said…
Take one more step,
Take one more mile,
Hold on, son, just a little while.
When your legs give out,
And your tears fall down,
When you’re lost and you can’t be found,
I’ll carry you through the darkest night,
When you ain’t got strength left to fight.
Just take one more step…
And I’ll take you the rest of the way.
Verse 2
I’ve watched people I love walk away,
Heard goodbye when I wanted them to stay,
I’ve stood in the wreckage of my own mistakes,
Praying, “God, how much more can one man take?”
The devil whispered, “You’re too far gone,”
But somehow I kept holding on,
And every time I thought I reached the end,
Your mercy met me there again.
Chorus
And You said…
Take one more step,
Take one more mile,
Hold on, son, just a little while.
When your legs give out,
And your tears fall down,
When you’re lost and you can’t be found,
I’ll carry you through the darkest night,
When you ain’t got strength left to fight.
Just take one more step…
And I’ll take you the rest of the way.
Bridge (spoken/sung)
I remember crying out…
“God, I can’t do this anymore.”
And in the silence…
I felt Him say…
“You don’t have to.”
Final Chorus
So I took one more step,
I walked one more mile,
And I finally saw the morning light.
Through the scars and pain,
Through the pouring rain,
I found hope at the end of my chain.
Now every breath and every heartbeat,
Is proof that His love never gave up on me.
I took one more step…
And He carried me the rest of the way.
Outro
Lord…
There were days I couldn’t walk…
So You carried me.
And that’s why I’m still here.
