Step By Step By Step – Song

Description

The Centre for Music, Liturgy and the Arts is pleased to introduce the Walk as One songbook as individual songs. While many churches and leaders purchase music books, many wonderful songs in the books lie undiscovered. This initiative provides an affordable way for churches to learn and play new music, with or without musicians.

The “Walk as One” songbook was published in 2022. The Individual Song packs provide a way for all churches, including songbook owners, to listen, learn and sing this excellent collection of songs.

For each song, you receive these digital resources

• A copy of the sheet music score from the “Walk as One” songbook (PDF)
• An audio recording of the song (high quality m3)
• A plain Powerpoint file (white text on black)
• A colour Powerpoint file (white text on coloured image)
• A lyric video (audio recording with song lyrics)
• A plain text version of the song lyrics (for inserting into presentation software or printed orders)

STEP BY STEP BY STEP

Step by step by step by step
we tread the path you lay in front of us.
Patiently we wait the moment.
“Now”, you say, with timing consummate.

You know when, for you know best,
our view is small but yours is wonderful.

Time and space to play our part
in your amazing, brilliant spectacle,
intricate and yet expansive,
astoundingly hopeful chronicle.

The creation drama is your
eternal unfolding guarantee.

We will wander lost and lonely
when we choose to travel selfishly.
Blown like leaves in stormy winds
until your Spirit fills our destiny.

Jesus, we labour in vain
to build our lives, unless you’re building them.
