I was listening to some songs by my one of my favorite songwriters, Rich Mullins. The words to this song reminded me of God’s absolute provision and grace in every situation, and the only response we have to that is to sing “Oh God, you are my God, and I will ever praise You!” He is definitely in control, and no matter how much I have strayed from His path and how difficult life may seem to be, He will lead me, step by step, until that day when my faith becomes sight.


Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed too steep
So close you could touch it
But your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hard
There was so much work left to do
But so much you’d already done

Oh God You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You’ll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond Your reach

Sometimes By Step
Rich Mullins and Beaker
