[INTRO — SPOKEN] [CHLOE — FEMALE] God… it’s Chloe. I got offered a place to study Pharmacy at university. I haven’t even started yet, but I’m already nervous. I also got a new job at McDonald’s, but I’m still waiting to find out when I start. And I miss my fiancé. We keep fighting. He gets angry, I get upset, and I don’t want us to keep hurting each other. God, I want to pray for his anger. I just don’t know what to say. [GOD — MALE] Chloe, you don’t have to figure everything out tonight. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” Give Me your fears. Pray for peace, patience and wisdom. You cannot control his heart, but you can give yours to Me. [CHLOE] So I just take it one step at a time? [GOD] Yes. You don’t need to see the whole road. Just take the next step with Me. [MUSIC BEGINS] [VERSE 1 — CHLOE] I got the letter that changed everything, A place in Pharmacy, a brand-new dream. I haven’t even started, but I’m already afraid, Wondering what tomorrow’s going to bring my way. There’s a new job waiting, But I’m still waiting for the call. Trying to trust You with my future, Even when I don’t know it all. And when the night gets quiet, That’s when I miss him most. So I close my eyes and whisper, “God, please stay close.” [CHORUS] Lead me one step at a time, When I can’t see what’s ahead. Give me peace for tomorrow, Quiet every fear in my head. I’m praying for the one I love, For the anger in his heart. Teach us how to speak with kindness When the distance pulls us apart. I don’t need every answer, I just need to know You’re near. I’ll trust You with my future, And I’ll give You all my fears. [VERSE 2] I don’t know who I’ll become When university begins. I don’t know when my first shift comes, But I know I’m not alone. And even though I miss him, Even after all our fights, I pray You soften both our hearts And help us make things right. [BRIDGE] Give him peace, Lord. Give me patience. Give us wisdom when we’re angry. Help us listen before we answer. Help us speak with kindness. Let Your peace be louder Than the anger between us. [FINAL CHORUS — SMALL CHOIR] Lead me one step at a time, When I can’t see what’s ahead. Give me peace for tomorrow, Quiet every fear in my head. I’m praying for the one I love, For the anger in his heart. Teach us how to speak with kindness When the distance pulls us apart. [CHOIR — SOFT] Lead her, Lord… Guide her, Lord… [CHLOE] I don’t need every answer. I just need to know You’re near. I’ve got a future waiting, And I’m leaving You my fears. [OUTRO — SPOKEN] [CHLOE] God… I still don’t know how everything will work out. But I have my university place. I have a new job waiting for me. And even though I miss him, I’m going to pray instead of panic. I’ll take the next step. [GOD] That’s enough, Chloe. One step at a time. I’m with you.
