The Tenth Step

Jan 16, 2002
By: Rick L. King

The tenth step is the prize
The goal we have in mind
But to get there we sometimes forget
We must walk up the other nine

These steps are for a reason
As there are things that, we must learn
Though our heart is so impatient
Each step must be taken in turn

We must be able to put God first
And let Him take our hand
As lessons we must learn
To be able, to stand

Preparations are sometimes tough
Yet we know that they must be
There are things we need to know
If we are to walk in victory

A person joins the army
As people are needed to fight
So they must go through boot camp
To learn to do things right

Gods’ ways are not different
As He doesn’t send us to defeat
If we will do things His way
The enemy will always, retreat

With God on our side
We can never lose
But we must be taught
The weapons of warfare, God desires for us to use

There is a purpose in the nine other steps
So patience and submission we must learn
As we allow Jesus to be, our Lord
We will receive, what our heart does for, yearn.

The tenth step will be beautiful
As this is the prize
We will be glad we walked God’s way
For Gods’ Glory, we will realize.
