Story Behind the Song: "Step One"

Conflicted.  You pray for answers, for direction.  Do you ever feel like you know what you're supposed to do, but you choose not to listen to what it is?  Maybe you just keep on asking God to tell you where to go, what to do, because you’re really hoping that if you keep on asking, He'll give you a different option.  Afraid to move forward because you can’t see tomorrow, you don’t move at all.  “Step One” is about letting go of control and stepping out in faith.  It's about believing that God knows what’s best for you, and trusting that He won’t let you fall.    

Inspired by a deep struggle experienced by one of our best friends, the lovely Megan Kennedy (soon-to-be Williams), Step One is InToOne's newest release.  Click on Megan's name to get to her own blog--a beautiful example of what Jesus Christ can do in a heart that is completely exposed to His love and power.  Thank you for being a glorious picture of how to trust God with everything, Meggy-Meg (nickname coined by Ava Grace).  There's so much more than this song that we wouldn't have without you.  

Step One

VERSE 1

You take step one, feeling all alone

Knowing change is coming, gotta press right on

Everybody’s got an answer, everybody has something to say

Too fast, too slow, going way to far

And Step two’s coming – don’t know where you are

Got make that choice or you’re end up falling again

See I’ve been running, chasing rain clouds

Just to keep my feet wet

And I’ve been searching, for direction

That I haven’t found yet

CHORUS

You won’t let me fall

You won’t let me fall           

VERSE 2

Out on a limb using all you got

To make a bad thing good; make the flooding stop

But nothing you do can make the rain stop falling this time

You’re on your knees begging God to change

Even though you know He’ll always be the same

You gotta take that step and follow even when you know you can’t see

I want to be the exception to

The words that have been said, I can’t stop

Clinging, from the sidelines

‘Cause I can’t see what’s ahead

BRIDGE

And God I need You, to lead me, wherever you want me

To take me, to break me, oh God make this go away

Please take my heartache, my sorrow, my insecurities

So Lord please shape me and guide me so I can take this leap
