2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

One Step Above by Wendell Powell

Lyrics

All I want to do, is do thy will
Singing onto high, just fills my thrills

Lifting up my hands, just makes me feel
One Step above, to holy hill

Heyyyyy! One step above to holy hill!

All I want to do, is do thy will
Singing onto high, just fills my thrills

Lifting up my hands, just makes me feel
One step above to holy hill

Heyyyy! One step above to holy hill!

(Bridge)
Day by day and night by night
Week after week, and strife after strife
But there’s no condemnation on my life
Thanks be to Jesus, my strength and my might

Heyyyy! Thanks be to Jesus, my strength and my might

All I want to do, is lift the up
Glory to your name, I can never get enough

For you carry all the weight, while I walk on the rough
Thanks be to Jesus, I’ll never get enough

Heyyyy! Thanks be to Jesus, I’ll never get enough!

Day by day and night by night
Week after week, and strife after strife
But there’s no condemnation on my life
Thanks be to Jesus, my strength and my might!
Thanks be to Jesus, my strength and my might!

All I want to do, Is do thy will!

Bio

I’m a songwriter/lyricist. I’ve been writing poetry and creating rhymes and rhythm since my teenage years. Every since the spark of love channeled my heart, the need to express beganed. There’s nothing like allowing words to flow through you and speak it’s own language. It’s down right magical. Alluring and inspirational to say the least. I don’t think there will ever come a time when I’ll lose the passion to create and express. I love the art of music!
