By the grace of God I wake to a new day
Got things to do on that list I made
Pour myself a cup and drink it down
Wear my smile not a frown

(Chorus)
I’m gonna love I’m gonna give
I’m gonna make up for all the lost time I killed
I’m gonna give back everything I took
Step by Step
I’m gonna live ……by the Book

(Turnaround)

Can’t carry the world on your shoulders
Can’t worry enough to change a thing
But I can lend a hand to my brother
Help bear his burden and ease his pain

(Chorus)
I’m gonna love I’m gonna give
I’m gonna make up for all the lost time I killed
I’m gonna give back everything I took
Step by Step
I’m gonna live ……by the Book
