2010 Nashville International Convention

I’m David, a grateful recovering sexaholic from Toronto. My wife and I wrote the following song after the Denver SA/S-Anon International convention in July 2009, with the idea of singing it at the January convention in Nashville. We’ve never written or performed music before, but our Higher Power was there to inspire us. We did sing it in Nashville, and we have received positive feedback from many people. Several members asked us for the lyrics, so we are providing them here for the fellowship. Enjoy!

Steps Song

To the tune of Nat King Cole’s “L-O-V-E”
As sung by David & Simone S.

One is for the Step that says “I can’t,”
Two is for the Step that says “God can.”
Three is where I swear I’ll turn it over to God’s care,
Four is inventory, that’s where I write out my story.

Steps are all that I can share with you,
Steps will bring us to a place that’s new.
You and I can make it,
Give it to God and He will take it,
Steps were made for me and you.

Five, I admit my faults to God and you,
Six, I’m ready to say “With these I’m through.”
Seven, I humbly call on God to now remove them all,
Eight I make a list of all the people that I’ve pissed.

Steps are all that I can share with you,
Steps will bring us to a place that’s new.
You and I can make it,
Give it to God and He will take it,
Steps were made for me and you.

Nine, I make amends to all I’ve hurt,
Ten, I shed light daily on my dirt.
Eleven, I pray each hour for God’s will and for His power,
Twelve, I’ve been awoken and reach out to those still broke.

Steps are all that I can share with you,
Steps will bring us to a place that’s new.
You and I can make it,
Give it to God and He will take it,
Steps were made for me and you.
