A small town preacher on the streets tonight
He's got a loaded Bible in his hand
Aaah he's blastin' out the gospel 'neath those parking lights
He's aimin' at the promised land
There's a young man pushing on the gospel plow
He carries his heart in his hand
Like to save the world, don't know how, he's a patient man
And he's one step closer, closer to the promised land
Aaah he's one step closer, closer to the promised land
Walking in the master's plan
There's a missionary waging a holy war, in God's name he makes a stand
Aaaah Satan's on his trail, demons at his door, combat is hand to hand
And the theologian looks for the questions
He keeps his lamp burning bright
He's determined to see God's perfection
If it takes all night
And he's one step closer, closer to the promised land
Aaah he's one step closer, closer to the promised land
Walking in the master's plan
And he's one step closer, closer to the promised land
Aaah he's one step closer, closer to the promised land
Walking in the master's plan
And he's one step closer, closer to the promised land
Aaah he's one step closer, closer to the promised land
Walking in the master's plan
One step closer, walking, walking, walking
