The Footsteps That He Took

By putting one foot in front of the other And toeing the line that’s straight I can put my troubled past in the mirror Headed toward a future I know is great By staying on the straight and narrow Giving temptations the complete slip I know that one of these near tomorrows I will be welcoming in my ship I have faith in His forgiveness I’ll make amends for my awful deeds I will smoother my sins with kindness With sincerity my heart will bleed I can turn this new leaf over I can change the cover that’s on my book You can prop yourself upon my shoulder And we'll follow in the footsteps that he took By putting one foot in front of the other And toeing the line that’s straight We can put our troubled pasts in the mirror Headed toward a future we know is great
