Only a Step to the Grave

Verse 1

Soon time will be ended, eternity’s near, It is only a step to the grave; God’s warnings are sounding, oh, will you not hear? It is only a step to the grave.

Chorus

It is only a step to the grave, It is only a step to the grave; O sinner, awake, your soul is at stake, And it’s only a step to the grave.

Verse 2

How near is your dying, O faltering man? For there’s only a step to the grave; Your life at the longest is only a span, And there’s only a step to the grave.

Verse 3

Backslider in darkness, in sorrow and sin, It is only a step to the grave; The door may soon close that’s inviting you in, For there’s only a step to the grave.

Verse 4

The end is soon coming, O sinner, beware, For it’s only a step to the grave; Repent, or you’ll miss that bright haven so fair, For it’s only a step to the grave.
