Stepping Stones
I.C.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there somebody on your right who told me I could come
He's your son and he assured me that you let me in
And if it wasn't for him dear lord I'd still be lost in sin
But his walk up Calvary hill became my stepping stone to glory
He carried the cross for me that I might walk upright
He gave his life, a sacrifice, the ransom for my freedom
Father god I praise you for Jesus saving grace
Without him I know I could never see you face-to-face
I once was blinded to the truth but he opened my eyes
He walked through the dark valley that I might see the light
And his walk up Calvary Hill became my stepping stone to glory
He carried his cross for me that I might walk up right
He gave his life, a sacrifice, the ransom for my freedom
Jesus pave the way home, so I can walk in light
Jesus is my stepping stone so I can walk in light
The lyrics to I.C.I's song Stepping Stones describe the singer's feelings of worthlessness as they approach the throne of God. However, they are reassured by Jesus, who is seated to the right of God, that they are welcome. Jesus is described as the one who makes it possible for the singer to enter into God's presence, as he paid the ransom for their freedom from sin. The lyrics are a powerful expression of how Jesus is seen as the way to connect with God, and how his sacrifice makes it possible for believers to have a relationship with God.
The phrase "His walk up Calvary Hill became my stepping stone to glory" is a reference to Jesus' journey to the cross. The image of the cross as a stepping stone to glory is a powerful metaphor and shows the importance of Jesus' sacrifice in Christian theology. The lyrics describe how Jesus carried his cross for the singer, so they could walk upright. He gave his life, a sacrifice, so they could be free of sin and walk in the light. The use of light as a metaphor is common in Christian songs, and here it shows how Jesus' sacrifice brings light into the singer's life.
Overall, the lyrics of Stepping Stones embody the Christian belief that Jesus is the way to salvation and a connection with God. The song expresses the gratitude and awe that many believers feel towards Jesus and his sacrifice, emphasizing the positive impact that faith can have on people's lives.
