[Intro: spoken male, intimate, acoustic guitar only] Nearly a hundred years ago, Arthur Luther wrote of a Savior who never fails. Tonight, I needed that reminder. [Verse 1: sung male, warm and restrained] Rain on the windshield, bills on the seat, I parked by the church at the end of the street. Found an old hymnbook, worn at the seams, Like somebody knew what this night would mean. [Verse 2: sung male, sparse piano enters] I'd followed the voices that sounded so sure, But every new answer left me needing more. Then under a lamp by an old wooden chair, I opened that book and I whispered a prayer. [Chorus: male lead, soft female harmony] Lord, help me trust You with the road ahead, More than the worries running through my head. I don't need tomorrow in my hands tonight; Just enough faith for the next step in Your light. When I can't see what You're leading me toward, I'll take Your hand—the next step is Yours. [Short instrumental turn: acoustic guitar, restrained pedal steel] [Verse 3: sung male, gently building] The rain didn't stop when I rose from my knees, But something was different in the heart of me. Same stack of bills, same long way home, But I wasn't carrying that weight alone. [Bridge: spoken male, instruments soften] Jesus, You died for me and rose again. Forgive my sins. I've trusted my own way long enough. Teach me to trust Yours. [Final Chorus: sung male, fuller soft female harmony] Lord, help me trust You with the road ahead, More than the worries running through my head. I don't need tomorrow in my hands tonight; Just enough faith for the next step in Your light. When I can't see what You're leading me toward, I'll take Your hand—the next step is Yours. [Outro: sung softly, acoustic guitar and female humming] That old hymnbook stayed by the door. I walked out trusting a little more. The next step is Yours. [End: warm resolved G major chord]
