Sometimes By Step

by: Rich Mullins

D             A               Bm
Sometimes the night was beautiful
              A                G
Sometimes the sky was so far away
G                                 A
Sometimes it seemed to steep, too close
          G                             Bm
You could touch it but your heart would break
              G               Bm
Sometimes the morning came to soon
              G               Bm
Sometimes the day can be so hot
             A                 G
There was so much work left to do
G
But so much you'd already done
(chorus)
A  D               A
Oh God, You are my God
    G                  D
And I will ever praise You
                   A
Oh God, You are my God
    G                  D
And I will ever praise You
       Bm              A
I will seek You in the morning
           Em                    A G
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
    D                   A
And step by step You'll lead me
           G                    D
And I will follow You all of my days

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