Bishop Gilbert E. Patterson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a look at your life
Hug your children
Kiss your wife
Know your neighbor
Leave the keys in your truck
Do yourself a favor 'n
Try your luck
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Everybody stop where you’re at
Take a step back
Take a step back
To the way it was
When people were crazy 'n
Love was enough
A little more old soul
A little more lay low
Gimme just a little more of your heart
I said ready, set, start
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Everybody stop where you’re at
Take a step back
No more tomorrows
No more today got away from me
Come on, bring it on home
1,2,3
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Everybody stop where you’re at
Take a step back, You Know It
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Everybody stop where you’re at
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Everybody stop where you’re at
Take a step back
Everybody stop where you’re at
Take a step back
Everybody stop, yes sir
Take a step back

Even tho he is not here with us in body, but his word of God lives on. We can still listen to him after all these years and there is still a stirring of the Holy Spirit in his singing his teaching, and his sermons. I honestly feel that you have earned that special seat in the kingdom.❤

WOW! What a man of God we had in Bishop Patterson. So many of the greats, like him, have left us for their reward. I could listen to him preach and sing for hours.
